The report by the outlet also mentions that the auction is called The Avicii Collection, which will feature 267 items. These items range from shoes and clothes to the artist's musical instruments and even memorabilia.
As per a press release, the auction house won't be receiving any commission out of the sales of these belongings of Avicii that directly benefit the Tim Bergling Foundation.
