Private funeral for Avicii held in Sweden

The funeral of Swedish DJ Avicii took place in a private ceremony in Stockholm last week, his publicist has confirmed.

The funeral of Swedish DJ Avicii, one of the biggest stars in electronic dance music, took place in a private ceremony in Stockholm last week, his publicist says.

Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, was found dead in Muscat, Oman, in April. He was 28.

"His funeral was held last Friday, attended by his closest family and friends," Swedish publicist Ebba Lindqvist said on Tuesday.

No cause of death has been released. However, shortly afterwards, Bergling's family appeared to suggest he took his own life, saying in a statement he "could not go on any longer".

Avicii, known for Wake Me Up and Hey Brother, announced he was retiring from touring in 2016, but kept on making music.
