David Bergling, brother of Swedish DJ and electronic music producer Avicii, whose death on Friday shook music lovers and the industry, is in Muscat as his family seeks answers.
David checked into a hotel in the Omani capital on Friday evening, hours after the star was found dead. The hotel where he is staying is 15 minutes away from Muscat Hills — the resort where Avicii had been vacationing.
Oman police said Avicii’s body will be flown home to Sweden this week.
According to reports, Avicii, whose real name is Tom Bergling, had checked out of Muscat Hills sometime last week.
One of the things David, a hotelier in Sweden, is likely looking into is exactly where his brother and a small group of friends went in the days leading up to his death.
In the past, Avicii suffered from health problems, including acute pancreatitis. It caused him to have his gallbladder and appendix removed four years ago.
In early 2016, the Grammy-nominated artist had announced his retirement from touring due to his health.
