Avicii, the reigning Swedish prince of electronic dance music, is done for now with the extravagant, vagabond life of an international touring D.J.

The musician, born Tim Bergling, announced on Tuesday in an open letter posted to his website that his 2016 concerts will be his last, at least for the foreseeable future. (“One part of me can never say never, I could be back ...but I won’t be right back,” he concluded.)

Avicii, 26, became a poster child for the electronic dance musician-as-pop star beginning with his 2011 hit “Levels,” riding the commercial rise of E.D.M. to six-figure performance fees at Las Vegas nightclubs and outdoor festivals. Last year, Forbes named him the sixth-highest-paid D.J. in the world, behind Calvin Harris and Tiësto, with annual earnings of around $19 million. He has released two albums: “True” in 2013, and “Stories,” in 2015.

In his note, Avicii wrote: “My choices and career have never been driven by material things, although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and comforts my success has availed me. I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist.”
