A charity tribute concert was held in honour of the late Swedish DJ, Avicii.

Stars including Rita Ora, Adam Lambert and David Guetta performed in the Stockholm Friends Arena in memory of the artist.

Thousands of fans also lit up their phones when Swedish singer Sandro Cavazzo dominated the stage by performing his Avicii collaboration 'Without You'.

The 28-year-old Swedish DJ was found dead in Oman in April last year, after taking his own life.

All proceeds from the concert will go towards mental health and suicide prevention charities.
