Benefit tribute concert of Avicii's music for mental health

A benefit concert for suicide prevention featuring the music of the late star Avicii is being planned for Dec. 5 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The proceeds will support the work of the new Tim Bergling Foundation,named for the late musician.

The foundation wascreated by the musician'sparents, in his real nameTim Bergling.

Last April the family put out the following statementabout their late son, saying the famed DJ "could not go on any longer" and that "he wanted to find peace."

"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."

His songs Wake Me Up!,Addicted to Youand the posthumous SOStopped the dance music charts.

The concert will feature many of the singers, including Adam Lambert and Rita Ora, who were on Avicii's recordings and will be the first time many of them have been performed live.

David Guetta and Kygo are among the electronic dance music stars that will perform opening sets.

Organizers said tickets go on sale Thursday.
