DJ Avicii dies at 28
Madrid, April 21: World-renowned Swedish DJ and electronic music producer Avicii was found dead in Muscat, Oman, his agent said on Friday. He was 28.
"It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii," Efe quoted Diana Baron as saying.
"The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time," Baron said. "No further statements will be given."
Bergling had struggled with health problems, some caused by excessive drinking and was hospitalized for 11 days in 2012 for treatment of acute pancreatitis.
In early 2016, he announced his temporary retirement from touring, citing a desire to "explore other interests."
"To me it was something I had to do for my health," Bergling told The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, adding that he had taken on board "too much negative energy" from the music scene.
Avicii achieved global fame in 2011 with the release of his smash hit "Levels," which was followed by other chart sensations, such as "Wake Me Up" and "Hey Brother".
He was known for his collaborations with other artists, including Coldplay, David Guetta, Lenny Kravitz, Robbie Williams and Rita Ora.
In 2014, he teamed up with Carlos Santana, Wyclef Jean and Alexandre Pires on the official FIFA World Cup anthem, "We Will Find a Way".

Former Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh passes away at 92
New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92. He was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) on Thursday after his health reportedly detoriated.
According to sources, Dr. Singh was brought to the hospital's emergency department around 8 PM. However, the specific reason for his hospitalisation has not yet been disclosed.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is widely recognized for his pivotal role in steering India’s economic liberalisation as Finance Minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government from 1991 to 1996. His economic reforms during that period marked a transformative era for the Indian economy.
Serving as Prime Minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014 under the UPA government, Dr. Singh has been a towering figure in Indian politics. Until earlier this year, he was a member of the Rajya Sabha, retiring in April after decades of public service.
