DJ Black Coffee was shattered by the news of Avicii’s death. He joined the world in paying tribute to him in an emotional post on social media.
“Oh my God. It knocked me hard. I was trying to talk to him last week. We were planning on working on some music together. He had business in South Africa so I saw him there, just talking about collaborating. But last week, we had a conversation. It was like, “what do you want to do?” He was really excited about what he’s been listening to, what he was inspired by. I didn’t see anything coming. I was on a flight in Mexico City. As soon as I landed I got all these messages. Young dude. Extremely talented.”
Black Coffee also dedicated a portion of his Coachella set to him.
Avicii was found dead in Muscat in unclear circumstances. He had previously admitted to addiction and had been in hospital twice for alcohol-related issues.
His body is expected to return to Sweden soon.
