Åhr came out as bisexual on August 8, 2017.
Åhr died on November 15, 2017 before a concert in Tucson, Arizona of a supposed Xanax overdose at the age of 21. After an autopsy was completed, it was confirmed that he was given fentanyl instead of Xanax.
Åhr's mother Liza Womack filed wrongful death charges against his label, FAE grp. She said that they failed to look after him and gave him illegal drugs even though they were aware of his addiction. The label said this was not true. The lawsuit was settled in February 2023 with Åhr's music catalog going to his family.
