Avicii, born as Tom Bergling, was in Oman in Western Asia at the time of his death. While authorities suspected no foul play, his family implied that the singer might have taken his life.

As reported by Variety, fans can expect an investigation report to be released in the coming days. His family's statement, published in Swedish, described Bergling as 'a fragile artistic soul.'

They also explained that the pressure of his industry, his success and his fast-paced career pushed the 'over-achieving perfectionist' to his limits.

Bergling retired in 2016 and cited several health reasons as the the motivating force. He was hoping that the break from touring and performing would reconnect him with his passion: music.

However, the troubled musician couldn't find peace for his soul and the balance he so desperately craved. 'He could not go on any longer,' his family wrote.

'Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight.'
