"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii," his publicist Diana Baron said in a statement. "He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th. The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given."

No cause of death given, although he retired from touring a couple years ago for health reasons. One of the pioneers of modern day EDM was lost today :/

Heard it on the news, pretty shocked by it :( and I wonder why they want to keep the cause silent. May he rest in peace.

Apparently there were actually some rumors that he was dead a couple of days ago. Awful timing....

Crap... :/
I can't say I was a fan, since I've only heard maybe three of his songs, but I fell in love with "Wake me up" the first time I heard it.
I also had no idea that he's two years younger than me... So young...
Such a talent, truly sad.

Ugh, massive downer. Glad I had the chance to see him atop his gargantuan LED head.

Oh no! I love his music especially The Nights. The opening of the song is especially poignant now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtF6Jej8yb4 RIP Avicii
