Will Avicii Play Again in the Hamptons?
He will if the powers that be hear the pleas and prayers of thousands of fans. Avicii whipped the crowd into a frenzy on Monday night at AFTEE’s Nile Rodgers concert, spinning “Lay Me Down,” his new collaboration with Rodgers and Adam Lambert (watch the Avicii-Lambert-Rodgers video here).

•Dan’s Papers. Have you seen that great lawn space of ours?
