Born as Tim Berglin, and famously known as Avicii, the musician is a household name for anyone who doesn't live under a rock. He has won two MTV Music Awards, one Billboard Music Award and earned two Grammy nominations throughout his career.

His track 'Wake Me Up', arguably, can be called the King of EDM tracks because it still rules the roost as far as party playlists are concerned across the world. His other hits include 'The Days', 'Levels', 'You make me', and 'Waiting for love'.

Interestingly, Avicii got nominated for a Billboard Music Award for top dance/electronic album for his EP Avicii (01), just days before his death.

The music world is under a major shock. This definitely is the sort of news that qualifies as a nightmare and all everyone can feel is 'Wake me up when it's all over'. RIP.
