Two years ago, Avicii announced his retirement, after suffering from health problems like pancreatitis, from excessive drinking. He once said in an interview:
‘Drinking became routine for me, but it’s impossible to keep up touring and drinking at the same time because you are going to crash.’
Musicians have also been posting their tributes to the dance music maker, saying his ‘music will live forever’. Rita Ora, Skrillex, Calvin Harris and even Madonna all shared their thoughts on social media.
Radio 1 host Annie Mac began her Friday show by saying ‘it’s a massive loss for dance music’ and that it was ‘absolutely devastating news’.
