World-famous DJ Avicii has died at the age of 28.
The body of the Swedish-born producer, who is known for his EDM hits Wake Me Up, Levels and Hey Brother, was found in Oman on Friday, a publicist confirmed.
The cause of Avicii's death is not yet known.
Avicii, born Tim Bergling, quit touring in 2016 due to battles with his health, suffering from acute pancreatitis and had to have his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014.
In the past, the DJ struggled with addiction and was hospitalised twice for alcohol related issues.
The musician was seen just days ago while posing with fans at the luxury Muscat Hills Resort, which could be some of the last photos of him alive.
The DJ's publicist said in a statement: 'It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii.
'He was found dead in Muscat, Oman this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th.
'The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.'
No more details about his death were provided. Oman police and state media had no immediate report late Friday night on the artist's death.
DJ Maitrai Joshi is seen in one of the photos with Avicii at the resort.
Joshi said he met the famous producer last weekend, seeing him on Friday and Saturday, as both were staying at the same hotel.
The DJ was enjoying himself so much in the Middle Eastern country that he extended his stay an extra eight days; he was supposed to go home that Sunday, according to Joshi.
He said to Norwegian paper VG: 'He was very nice, in good shape. Last Friday they were out on a boat, and the day after I know he was having dinner with friends. This is shocking news.
'I do not know what might have happened. He was very nice and happy.'
American Christina Hlosek also was seen in a photo with Avicii, she said: 'It's a shock to me that he's dead now. I could not believe the news when I read it.'
