While the day has seen some high-profile albums release, it was also plagued with the extremely unfortunate news of Avicii's passing. The Swedish DJ was one of the most popular members of the electronic music scene, releasing timeless hits that will continue to get airplay for many more years. While there has been no cause of death formally reported coinciding with Avicii's death, TMZ has unearthed several fan photos of the star at the resort he was staying at in Muscat, Oman.
In the photos obtained by TMZ, Avicii is posing with fans, looking genuinely happy and spreading the love with them. Rocking a big smile from ear to ear, the DJ looked to be in good spirits in the days leading up to his untimely death. According to the publication, Avicii was staying at a luxury resort, apparently enjoying a vacation in Muscat. Two years ago, TMZ reported that the star had stopped touring, writing a farewell letter and stating that he longed for "the life of a real person behind the artist." While he was enjoying taking some time away from the road, he did not shy away from taking pictures with his fans, as evidenced in likely the final photographs of him before his passing.
The photos are available here. The music community mourns the loss of Avicii and sends their sincerest condolences to his loved ones.
