Describing Avicii as one of the country’s greatest musicians, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven addresses his people and sends warm wishes to the producer’s closest family and friends:

I have been reached by the sad news that Tim Bergling better known as Avicii, has passed away. He was one of Sweden’s largest musicians in modern time. I think of his closest, family and friends.
