"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."

Further reports have reported that there are no suspicious circumstances in his death, but a cause of death has yet to be released.

Avicii retired from touring in 2016. In past interviews, he opened up about battles with excessive drinking and had been suffering with pancreatitis.

The dance world has been in mourning ever since the announcement. David Guetta called him "a friend with such a beautiful heart", while Calvin Harris praised the "extremely talented" producer. 

Deadmau5 tweeted: "Banter aside, nobody can deny what he has accomplished and done for modern dance music and I'm very proud of him."

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.
