Avicii's death is still a shock to many of his fans. At just 28 years old, the famed DJ/producer left the world without any warning.

After tests were performed on the late DJ's body, the public learned that there was "nothing suspicious" about it. Avicii's family also issued two statements about their loved one's passing. In the most recent one, the family hinted that Avicii died from suicide. "Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress," the statement read. "When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness."

It continued: "He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight."

Now, Avicii's friend and frequent collaborator Mike Posner is speaking about his late pal. While talking to TMZ, Posner expressed how much he'll miss him, his fond memories of Avicii and more. Watch the conversation above.
