Just last year Emily had celebrated being “cancer-free” in a poignant social media post.
The 34-year-old’s family described her as “vivacious and unique person who experienced many adventures in her all too brief life”.
Last year Emily shared a snap of herself giving the thumbs-up in hospital on Instagram.
She captioned the post: ” “I lived b****. I have had cancer for the past year. I am now cancer-free.”
Emily is survived by her parents, Julie and Sam Goldberg of La Jolla, and brother Aaron Goldberg of Chicago, Illinois.
Her death comes six years after Swedish music legend Avicii died aged 28 on April 20, 2018.
Avicii, whose real name was Tim Bergling, topped the charts with a string of Grammy-nominated EDM hits.
After Avicii’s death, Emily posted a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram.
She said: “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.
“Wake me up when it’s all over, because I don’t want it to be real. RIP Avicii.”
