Breaking: Swedish DJ Avicii Dead At 28

Swedish media have in the past hour reported the death of world-famous DJ Avicii (real name Tim Bergling) at the age of only 28 (just two years before he was bound to ‘retire’ as he had himself announced in earlier interviews).

According to a statement by his publicist, the young DJ died due to ‘health issues’ in Oman. At this moment no further details are known.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sadness has swept through our office at the news of <a href="https://twitter.com/Avicii?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Avicii</a>’s passing.

His publicist Ms. Diana Baron released the following: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii."

Avicii broke through in 2011 with his hit ‘Levels’ and went on a global all-conquering-tour since then, racking up collaborations with many groups and singers. Madonna, Nicky Romero, Rita Ora, and Coldplay are among them.

His greatest hits included: "I Could Be the One", "Wake Me Up", "You Make Me", "X You", "Hey Brother", "Addicted to You", "The Days", "The Nights", "Levels", "Waiting for Love", "Without You" and "Lonely Together".

In 2016, due to excessive drinking, his health problems became too big and he retired from live performing. Already in 2014 his gallbladder and appendix had been removed.

"Swedish media have in the past hour reported the death of.."

I challenge you to name ONE good song by this douchebag. And before you begin naming his music, let me remind you that none of those are actually 'good songs'… It's bullshit.

also, exactly HOW is this 'breaking news'?… Is he still dying? It's over. He's dead. The story is dead. There's nothing 'breaking' about it at all.
