    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.
