Yes with Travis Barker. You escape death in a plane crash and then OD later?

How sad.

How sad.

Sad he didn't realize how precious life is. He and Travis were the only ones to survive that plane crash.

Beside the plane crash...who is he?

Ex long term boyfriend of Nicole Ritchie, a famous DJ in LA.

[autumnpalm]

How sad. Especially after surviving the plane crash...

What a waste of a good life. You survive a plane crash only to kill yourself with drugs. la sigh

No, Travis Barker is the drummer from Blink 182. I still don't really know who DJ AM is though.

 

[AshleyW]

That was Travis Barker.. DJ AM is the one who died.

How sad.

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

No that was the OTHER guy in the plane crash, Travis Barker.

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

No, Travis Barker is the drummer from Blink 182. I still don't really know who DJ AM is though.

He's just a well known DJ in LA, who became more well known while dating Nicole Ritchie.

I also remember he was really obese and lost a ton of weight from getting weight loss surgery.

Adam Goldstein

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a Jewish family, Goldstein was a member of the rock band Crazy Town, known for their hit "Butterfly". He has also scratched on albums for Papa Roach, Madonna, Will Smith, and Shifty and played concerts with Jay-Z. He has played private events for celebrities like Jim Carrey, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Stiller, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Kate Hudson.

He has recently collaborated with Travis Barker of Blink-182 and +44 in several performances, including the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. On December 1. 2008, TV Guide reported that DJ AM will make his first appearance with Travis Barker since the two survived the plane crash. The duo performed at New Year's Nation's Los Angeles 2008 New Year's Eve Party at The Wiltern. Their performance was streamed live on the Internet via New Year's Nation's official site, and was broadcast at other New Year's Nation parties across the U.S.[3][4] Before the gig Barker told press, "I'm ready to get back onstage with AM and continue to rock the house. I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A."[5]

I am in total shock over this. I really had thought he had turned it around.

I actually feel sick.

Poor Travis Barker. I can't imagine. First his best friend in the crash and his bodyguard and now Adam.

I really hope this isn't true but TMZ generally doesn't get this stuff wrong.

There are also a lot of celebs on Twitter who seem to think it is true.

Just heard about this. I was in Atlantic City not too long ago and saw his club, Dusk, under construction at Caesars. It apparently opened last month, so at least he got to be there for it. My friend also saw him spin in Las Vegas in June and said she had a blast and he did a great show.
