The superstar DJ and producer's family has released a second statement.

The 28 year old, whose real name was Tim Bergling, was found dead in his hotel room in Oman on April 20th.

The statement, translated from Swedish, read:

"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An overachieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress."

"When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer."

"He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight."

"Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive. We love you, Your family."

Details of Avicii's death have not been confirmed.
