Tim Avicii Bergling has passed away, 28 years old. Bergling passed away in Muscat, Oman and found dead on Friday. “The family is broken,” tells Avicii’s press contact, Ebba Lindqvist, in a comment to Swedish TV-station SVT.

On the last known picture of Bergling, he laughs at the camera – along with the DJ Maitrai who works at the hotel.

– They said they should go to Oman’s outskirts, I do not know where, says Maitrai.

Maitrai added that Avicii was enjoying himself so much in the Middle Eastern country that he extended his stay an extra eight days. Maitrai himself was told about the death when he was playing DJ at the hotel. He says the atmosphere in the hotel dropped.

– To be honest, it’s shocking, everyone in the hotel is shocked.

Something really horrible happened. We lost a friend with such a beautiful heart and the world lost an incredibly talented musician. Thank you for your beautiful melodies, the time we shared in the studio, playing together as djs or just enjoying life as friends.

Tim, since day one you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations to make dance music. You put Sweden on the map with the most memorable melodies in the world. I wish I could have said a few last words to you before you left this place. Millions of people will remember you forever. pic.twitter.com/oj06UoAxyK
