Avicii’s family has revealed that only those closest to the DJ will be attending his private funeral.
The DJ, real name Tim Bergling, died on 20 April in Oman at the age of 28. His cause of death was confirmed by his family as suicide.
Now, the family of the Levels hitmaker have said that his funeral will be a private occasion.
In a statement released to Billboard, the Bergling family said: ‘There have been many inquiries regarding the funeral arrangements for Tim Bergling, known by music fans as Avicii.
‘The Bergling family has now confirmed that the funeral will be private, in the presence of the people who were closest to Tim. ‘They kindly ask media to respect this.
There is no additional information forthcoming.’ Avicii’s family commented on his cause of death in a heartbreaking statement a week after his death.
They said: ‘Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An overachieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.
‘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.’
