At the time, Emily wrote on Instagram: "Come on babe, don’t give up on us. Choose me, and I’ll show you love.

"Those are lyrics from a song Tim wrote for me. I wish I could have lived up to them.

"For the two years we were together, he was my closest confidante, and my best friend.

"Now I can’t look at Bear without knowing I’ll never see his face again.

"I’m still collecting my thoughts and thank you for all your kind words and texts.

Just last year, Emily had celebrated being cancer-free.

She shared a photo of herself in hospital, explaining: "I lived b****. I have had cancer for the past year. I am now cancer-free."

A private memorial will be held for Emily. In an obituary, her family explained: "Emily Grace Goldberg, 34, passed away on April 3, 2024, in La Jolla, California. The cause of death was a pulmonary embolism.

"She is survived by her parents, Julie and Sam Goldberg of La Jolla, and brother Aaron Goldberg of Chicago, Illinois.

"Emily was a vivacious and unique person who experienced many adventures in her all too brief life. She was born on December 3, 1989 in Poway, California.

"... Emily had a particular fondness for animals, especially Pomeranian puppies, and spent many happy hours with her beloved dogs Bear and Kuma.

A private memorial service is being held."

Avicii - real name Tim Bergling - shocked the world when he was found dead in a luxury hotel in Muscat, Oman, on 20 April 2018 after taking his own life at just 28 years old.

The DJ's suicide came after he began experiencing battles with drug and alcohol addiction following a surge of fame thanks to the popularity of his music, including songs such as 'Wake Me Up' and 'Levels'.

In the years leading up to his death he retired from touring due to problems with alcohol misuse and mental health issues.

After he died, his family released a poignant statement about how Bergling felt as if he could no longer go on living.

It read: "He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace."

Their national number is 0800 58 58 58 and they also have a webchat service if you're not comfortable talking on the phone.
