The family of Swedish DJ Avicii, who took his own life last year, is releasing new music that he was working on before his death.

Ahead of Avicii's first death anniversary, the DJ-producer's family has announced a mental illness and suicide-prevention foundation in his memory.

NEW YORK, April 21: Avicii, the Grammy-nominated electronic dance DJ who performed sold-out concerts for feverish fans around the world and also had massive success on U.S. pop radio, died Friday. He was 28.

Avicii was an avatar as much as he was a producer. Exploding on to the scene in 2011 with his unabashedly saccharine hit Levels, the Swedish musician born Tim Bergling represented, depending on where one stood, either the best or worst of dance music’s rise in the United States.
