    Actress Ruby Rose also took to Twitter, opting to share memories of the time she spent “travelling Europe” with the Swedish DJ.

    She tweeted: “No @Avicii ... I can’t even begin to comprehend this. I adore you and I loved traveling and touring Europe with you. You were my friend and a beautiful person. Vegas and Ibiza memories will always be so special to me. RIP you were magic. (sic)”

    News of the ‘Wake Me Up’ musician’s passing was confirmed by his publicist in a statement on Friday afternoon.

    It read: "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.
