The Swedish national, real name Tim Bergling, died in Muscat, Oman on Friday 20 April.
In a statement his publicist said:
"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."Cause of death has not been released yet.
He wrote a farewell letter to HIS fans, saying he had "too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist."
But he left a hint at a possible return, signing off:
"One part of me can never say never, I could be back... but i won't be right back."Away from the music, Avicii was suffering from ill health for years.
He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, partly due to excessive drinking, and he was forced to have his gallbladder and appendix surgically removed in 2014.
