R.I.P.D.J.A.M

Legendary DJ / Producer DJ AM, whose real name in Adam Goldstein was found dead in his New York apartment last Friday. Having been off the drugs for about ten years, AM had supposably been using again after he was involved in a serious aeroplane crash last year September.

AM and Travis Barker were the sole survivors of a Learjet plane crash in which four other people died. The pair received extensive burns and it was reported that Goldstein was using medication to deal with his injuries and post traumatic stress. According to TMZ drug paraphernalia and prescription pills were found in his apartment.

DJ AM rose to fame through his success as a genre blending DJ and talented producer. He was a member of the rock band Crazy Town and mixed/scratched on albums for the likes of Will Smith, Madonna and Papa Roach. Goldstein was also a favorite among celebrities, DJing at parties for Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Jessica Simpson, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Ben Stiller - to name a few. Most recently AM had been working on a live project with Travis Barker as TRVSDJ-AM.

His final twitter comment, made last Tuesday was a quote from Grandmaster Flash’s song New York, New York ::::
New York, New York. Big city of dreams,
but everything in New York aint always what it seems…
