Avicii Remembered by Thousands at Coachella in the Wake of His Death: ‘We’ll Miss You,’ Said Kygo

The memory of superstar deejay Avicii, who wasfound dead in Muscat, Oman, on Friday, is living on during the second weekend of Coachella Music Festival.

Hours after news broke, thousands of music fans hit the Indio, California, festival grounds where performer after performer took time to recognize the major loss to the music community.

Fellow star Deejay Kygo took to the main stage on Friday night and ended his set with an emotional tribute to Avicii.

"Coachella, I think most of you guys have heard but today is a very sad day for music. Earlier today I got the news that Avicii passed away only 28 years old. Avicii was my biggest musical inspiration and he was the reason I started making electronic music so I don’t think I would’ve been on this stage tonight if it wasn't for him. I know he’s inspired millions of other producers out there. So I want to end my set tonight with my favorite Avicii song," Kygo told the crowd as he closed his performance by playing Avicii's 2017 single, "Without You."

The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority.
