The Swedish DJ's family have released a second statement.
Rachel Davies-DayThe family of Swedish DJ Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, have released a second statement following his death on April 20.
Avicii was found dead at a hotel in Oman at the age of 28, and now his relatives have implied he took his own life, writing: "He could not go on any longer."
Take a look at Avicii's 'Lonely Together' Ft. Rita Ora...
And I'm caught in the middle
I caught the edge of a knife
And it hurts just a little
And I know, and I know, and I know
And I know that I can't be your friend
It's my head or my heart
And I'm caught in the middle
My hands are tied, but not tight enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle
You're the poison in the wine
And I know
I can't change you, and I
I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Eyes wide shut and it feels like the first time (Oh)
Before the rush to my blood
Was too much and we flatlined (Oh)
And I know, and I know, and I know
And I know just how this ends
Now I'm all messed up
And it feels like the first time (Oh)
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle
You're the poison in the wine
And I know
I can't change you, and I
I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
My hands are tied, but not tight enough
You're the high that I can't give up
Oh lord, here we go
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
At the bottom of a bottle
You're the poison in the wine
And I know
I can't change you, and I
I won't change
I might hate myself tomorrow
But I'm on my way tonight
Let's be lonely together
A little less lonely together
Let's be lonely together
(Let's be lonely lonely now)
(Let's be lonely lonely now)
A little less lonely together
A little less lonely now
A little less lonely now
A little less lonely now
A spokesperson for the musician refused to confirm to the BBC whether he had committed suicide.
The family's statement, which was released in Swedish, translates to: "Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions.
"An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress."
Avicii had been open about his struggles with fame, announcing in 2016 that he would retire from touring and focus his time on making music in the studio.
The statement continued: "When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music.
"He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace."
"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. Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive. We love you, Your family"
Our thoughts are with the musician's family and friends at this time.
RIP, Avicii.
