DJ Avicii a.k.a Tim Bergling

Global superstar DJ Avicii died by suicide, his family has said in a statement.

In a second statement issued by his family, they said that he ‘could not go on any longer’ on 20 April.

The statement, translated from Swedish, read: ‘Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An overachieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. ‘When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. ‘He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer.
