This is so sad.

World famous DJ Avicii committed suicide on April 20 by cutting himself with a broken wine bottle, TMZ reports.

Sources differ on their exact accounts of what happened. Some say he sliced his wrists with the shards of glass and bled out, while another says he inflicted the wounds on his neck.

The hit maker had battled anxiety and alcohol problems for years before his death, and his family alluded to his struggles in a statement they release shortly after his passing.

"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. 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," they wrote.

"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. Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive," they added.

According to Swedish website Stoppa Pressarna, he made a troubling call to a family member shortly before he took his own life, and they immediately hopped a plane to where he was vacationing in Muskat, Oman, but arrived too late.

"The family was aware that Tim was mentally unwell. It went up and down, but when he was in Oman it got worse. When they spoke to Tim on the phone, they got worried. The family understood that it was bad and that they had to act. The plane landed two hours after Tim had passed away," a source revealed.

How heartbreaking. RIP Avicii.
