Avicii Retires From Live Performances

But he will "never let go of music"...

Avicii has retired from live performances.

The EDM giant confirmed the news in a public statement, taking time to thank almost every member of his team.

The Swedish producer wrote: "My choices and career have never been driven by material things, although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and comforts my success has availed me. I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist."

"I will however never let go of music – I will continue to speak to my fans through it, but I’ve decided this 2016 run will be my last tour and last shows. Let’s make them go out with a bang!"

Avicii ended: "One part of me can never say never, I could be back …but I won’t be right back."
