DJ superstar Avicii made an eerie prediction before his sudden death at the age of 28.

The Swedish producer, real name Tim Bergling, was found dead in Oman on Friday.

In Avicii: True Stories - a 2017 documentary on the rise, fall and rebirth of one of the most successful electronic music artists of all time - the performer spoke of dying young.

“I have told them this. I won’t be able to play anymore,” he said, after it was revealed he played a mammoth 813 gigs between 2008 and 2016 after which he decided to stop touring and performing live.

“I have said, like, I’m going to die. I have said it so many times. And so I don’t want to hear that I should entertain the thought of doing another gig,” he added.

According to Swedish media reports, police in Oman conducted two post mortems on the body of the Grammy-nominated electronic dance artist.

Public broadcaster SVT reported on Sunday that the post mortems revealed nothing suspicious and foul play has been ruled out in the performer’s death.

The broadcaster says the body has been cleared to be taken back to Avicii’s native Sweden.

Fans in Stockholm observed a minute of silence in his honour on Saturday.

The late DJ looks set to return to the charts this week.

Three of his hit songs are now heading back to the UK chart, the Official Charts Company said.

Wake Me Up, a three week chart-topper in 2013, is currently inside the Top 20 at number 13.

Avicii’s global breakthrough track Levels, originally a number four hit in 2011, is at 24, and 2013 single Hey Brother re-enters midweek at 32.

The artist’s two studio albums True and Stories are on course to return to the Top 40 of the album chart, and are currently at 15 and 21. Remix album True – Avicii by Avicii is at 23.

Swedish tabloid Expressen said Avicii stayed at the Muscat Hills Resort while on holiday in Oman.

Expressen said he spent time with friends, went kitesurfing and enjoyed the country so much was planning to stay a few extra days.
