Snapchat just launched a brand new feature with a little help from Avicii!

The camera app is now allowing users to do some pretty cool things with their bitmoji, by bringing the custom avatar to life through 3D world lenses.

Users simply click the rear-facing Snapchat camera, tap to place their bitmoji and can create a short animated scene!

Swedish DJ Avicii, aka Tim Bergling, has just announced he is retiring from performing live shows.

“Two weeks ago, I took the time to drive across the U.S. with my friends and team, to just look and see and think about things in a new way,” the 26-year-old wrote to fans on his website. “It really helped me realize that I needed to make the change that I’d been struggling with for a while.”

“My choices and career have never been driven by material things, although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and comforts my success has availed me,” he continued. “I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist.

“I will however never let go of music – I will continue to speak to my fans through it, but I’ve decided this 2016 run will be my last tour and last shows. Let’s make them go out with a bang!” Avicii added.

As of right now, Avicii‘s final live gig is scheduled for the Creamfields festival on August 27.

An Avicii concert took a turn for the worse when dozens of attendees were hospitalized after consuming a dangerous substance on Wednesday (June 25) at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass.

Around 38 people, many of them minors, were taken to local hospitals, according to the Boston Globe. There were at least seven ambulances on the scenes and a Boston EMS emergency trailer where concertgoers were treated.

Some reports are saying that there were upwards of fifty to sixty-five people taken to the hospital.

There were fortunately no fatalities and the official statement from a TD Garden spokesperson said that “there were a number of transports due to medical issues.”

Avicii‘s latest song “Hey Brother” is this week’s pick for JustJared.com and KIIS-FM 102.7‘s JJ Music Monday.
