Swedish DJ Avicii is on the road to recovery after an operation to remove his appendix and gallbladder.

The 24-year-old DJ, whose real name is Tim Bergling, announced last week that he was pulling out of Miami’s Ultra Music Festival because of stomach pains, reported BBC online. He was admitted to hospital in the US, and later told he had a gall bladder problem and ruptured appendix.

Avicii was replaced by Deadmau5 who headlined the main stage at the event last weekend After spending a night in hospital, he tweeted: “It’s a routine procedure and all going well, I expect to be fully recovered and back on my feet in time for my US True Tour”.
