Avicii Dies at 28
Incredibly sad news today. Tim Bergling, known as Avicii was found dead in Muscat, Oman at only 28 years old. There has been no announcement of cause of death up to this point, but many assume that this will likely be in relation to the substance abuse problems and subsequent health issues that took him away from touring and producing a few years ago. The statement from his rep reads:
“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. 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.”
He passionately loved what he did; producing, performing, and brightening up others lives with his sounds. He will be forever missed. Rest in peace Tim.
