Adam Lambert and Avicii brought the funk to life with their hit song “Lay Me Down,” and Lambert made sure to honor that energy at The Avicii Tribute Concert with a performance that had the crowd buzzing. Dressed in a fabulous pink suit, the American singer took the stage and lit up Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, with his electric stage presence. You could see the joy on his face as he got the chance to sing the disco-infused track again, and the fans were all in, celebrating Avicii’s legacy with one of the best voices in the business.
“Lay Me Down” isn’t an easy song to sing—those high notes are no joke! But Lambert made it sound effortless, gliding through the challenging vocal runs like they were second nature. His voice was smooth, powerful, and completely in control, proving once again why he’s considered one of the greatest vocalists of his generation. And the crowd? They gave it right back, filling the sold-out arena with energy as 55,000 people cheered and danced along.
Lambert’s performance became one of the most-watched moments from the Avicii Tribute Concert, racking up an impressive 3.3 million views on YouTube. Fans couldn’t get enough, flooding the comments with praise. One person wrote, “Adam’s one of the only singers that sounds better live than on a recording, that’s talent right there. My fav singer of the decade hands down – glad he got a chance to work with Avicii.” Another added, “What a performance! Can’t stop watching! Adam showcasing his extraordinary vocals and strutting that stuff!”
Avicii, born Tim Bergling, tragically passed away on April 20, 2018, at just 28 years old. To honor his memory, the Tim Bergling Foundation organized The Avicii Tribute Concert, with all proceeds going toward mental health and suicide prevention charities. The event took place on December 5, 2019, and featured an all-star lineup, including David Guetta, Aloe Blacc, Kygo, Gavin DeGraw, Rita Ora, and more. While Lambert’s performance was a standout, the most-watched moment from the concert was Aloe Blacc’s powerful rendition of “Wake Me Up.”
“Lay Me Down” was a collaboration between Avicii, Adam Lambert, Arash Pournouri, and legendary musician Nile Rodgers. All four artists played a role in crafting the song, with Avicii and Pournouri handling production. Rodgers, known for his signature funky guitar riffs, added his magic touch, making the track even more irresistible.
Released on April 21, 2014, “Lay Me Down” quickly became a hit. It was certified Gold in Sweden and climbed into the top 10 in several European countries, proving that the combination of Avicii’s production, Lambert’s vocals, and Rodgers’ iconic guitar was pure musical gold.
