We’re very sad to report the tragic loss of Swedish DJ and producer\u00a0Tim Bergling <\/strong>aka\u00a0Avicii<\/strong>, who has died in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28. His representative said in a statement:<\/p>\n

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling<\/strong>, also known as Avicii<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was found dead in Muscat, Oman, this Friday afternoon local time, 20 April.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fans are familiar with Avicii<\/strong> for his collaboration with Madonna, which started with a remix for Girl Gone Wild<\/strong><\/em> from the MDNA<\/strong><\/em> album, continued when Tim opened several MDNA Tour<\/strong><\/em> dates in 2012, and went on with the two co-writing and co-producing some of the highlights from\u00a0Rebel Heart,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>including Devil Pray, Heartbreakcity, Wash All Over Me, Messiah, Borrowed Time, Addicted <\/em><\/strong>as well as the album’s title track. He was the first producer for the new album mentioned by Madonna in a tweet<\/a> in March 2014.<\/p>\n

A documentary about Tim’s career – Avicii: True Stories<\/strong><\/em> – was released in fall 2017, chronicling his retirement from touring and his health struggles. In an interview with Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/em><\/a> last year Avicii<\/strong> had the chance to talk about his collaboration with Madonna on Rebel Heart<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

I’d love to work with her again, but that was right when I was busiest, and I think she might have been disappointed in me for not being able to put in as much time as she wanted. A lot of things start suffering when you don’t have the energy or time to do things properly. You think you can get away with it, but the quality suffers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Madonna’s Instagram<\/p><\/div>\n

Madonna<\/strong> of course was among those who took to the internet to share their feelings about Tim passing away today; she\u00a0wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So Sad……. So Tragic. Good Bye Dear Sweet Tim. 💙 Gone too Soon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our sincere condolences to Tim’s family, friends and all the EDC community. His music will keep inspiring all of us.<\/p>\n
