When ill health forced him to retired from live touring in 2016, Swedish DJ Avicii wrote to his fans saying: “I will never let go of music.”

He was, it could be said, true to his word.

Just days before his death, aged 28, his latest EP, Avicii (01), was nominated for a Billboard Music Award. Some fans have said it was among his finest work. Which is some achievement with a back catalogue that includes these:

Le7els

A progressive house piece released in 2011, it went platinum in 10 countries and reached number four in the UK singles chart.

Wake Me Up!

The lead single from debut album True, it sold almost two million copies in the UK, more than four million in the US, and reached number one in dozens of countries across the globe.

The Days

Featuring vocals by Robbie Williams, The Days was released in 2014 and featured a now poignant line: “Under the tree where the grass don't grow / We made a promise to never get old.”

You Make Me

The follow up to Wake Me Up!, it was always destined to struggle to match that song’s mass commercial success but, nonetheless, went gold in both the UK and US.
