Hollywood Grind — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:11:33 +0000

DJ AM, real name Adam Golstein (36), was found dead this afternoon in his New York City apartment.

Police say they found a crack pipe, and pill bottles, in the apartment. Despite being drug free for 11 years, it appears DJ AM may have died as a result of drug use.

There is speculation that DJ AM may have started using drugs again as a result of stress from a plane crash he survived in September of last year, and suffered burns from. There is also speculation that DJ AM may have turned to drugs due to the emotional trauma from Hayley Wood breaking up with him in the last week.

A rep for DJ AM just issued the following statement:

"Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein was found deceased this afternoon in his New York City apartment. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Out of respect for his family and loved ones, please respect their privacy at this time."

On Agust 25th DJ AM tweeted this on Twitter:

"New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems."

The lyric is the opening line to the famous Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five song New York, New York.

DJ AM had also completed 8 episodes for his new show Gone Too Far, which helped drug addicts near death get off drugs before it was too late. DJ AM was one of those who needed intervention, but he went too far.

DJ AM Sets the Lawsuit Record Straight

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:10:34 +0000

Reports surfaced recently that claimed DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, was suing the estates of the dead pilots involved in the deadline plane accident he survived. DJ AM posted the following statement to set the record straight:

DECEMBER 30, 2008
Hello All -
Normally I don’t feel like I NEED to make a statement like this, but after I read some recently reported untruths I feel like I have to. I want to take a second to address the hurtful posts and clear up any misunderstandings any of you may have about my law suit. I would NEVER sue the deceased pilots’ estates or personal holdings. I am more than grateful that I survived this horrible accident and I’d never try to take anything from those that didn’t. Despite the misinterpretations of the lawsuit, this suit is against the insurance companies that insured the pilots. I’m not after Sarah’s or James’ personal estates nor their property. Everyone involved in this suit has suffered a great deal, and I would not do anything to make matters worse for the deceased family and friends. Daily I live with the guilt and grief of what happened that night, what I saw, who was lost and why I was spared. I have no words to express the pain that comes with knowing four people died, while I lived.
Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein

The fact that DJ AM and Travis Barker survived is a miracle.

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:33:32 +0000

News broke today that the plane crash that killed four people, and severely burned Travis Barker and DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, may have been caused by a blown tire. Here’s more:

Federal aviation officials are saying the tires on the doomed Learjet that crashed last month in South Carolina shredded as the plane ran out of runway.
The crash killed four people and injured former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday that very little rubber was left on the jet’s wheels and the brakes were severely damaged when the plane crashed on takeoff just before midnight Sept. 19.
The plane’s cockpit voice recorder has indicated that crew members thought a tire blew as they hurtled down the runway before failing to abort the takeoff.
Barker and DJ AM suffered severe burns in the crash. Both have been released from the hospital are expected to fully recover.

A blown tire is what caused the fiery Concorde plane accident just before they retired those aircraft.

The blown tire is not new. Investigators are just now making this the official cause of the accident.

Travis Barker and DJ AM Almost Killed in Plane Crash

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:20:30 +0000

Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) were almost killed in Columbia, South Carolina when their lear jet attempted to take off, but crashed on the runway at Columbia Metropolitan Airport, killing four people, and severely injuring Barker and Goldstein. Barker and Goldstein were in Columbia Friday night as part of a concert in Columbia’s Five Points. Both Barker and Goldstein were transported to an Augusta, Georgia burn center, and are both listed in critical condition.

William Owens was driving down Highway 302 when he said he saw a fireball go across the road. He said:

"I didn’t know what I had seen, it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer though I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet and I recognized it as a jet."

Owens then described what he saw as he tried to make it to the wreckage:

"It’s in flames and the fuel is running across the road and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway."

Owens said the two men (Barker and Goldstein) were in the road trying to extinguish themselves. He then asked the men if there was anyone else on board the plane and they said four more were with them:

"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do."

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the plane took off at 11:53 pm Friday night heading to Van Nuys, CA. Officials say air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks after the plane started to leave.

Officials say six people were on board the plane when it impacted several lights on Runway 11 and crashed through the fence at the end of the runway. The plane crashed onto Highway 302.

Federal officials say two crew members and two passengers have been killed. Lexington County Coroner Harry Harman has identified all four victims from California. Harman says the pilot, Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles all perished in the crash.

National Transportation Safety Board officials say the plane crashed just after take off at 11:53 p.m. Friday.

At this time, they say the flight was attempting to take off on Runway 11, but it skidded down the runway. It crashed through a perimeter fence, hit an antennae array and lights, then hit an embankment along Highway 302.

The fuselage of the plane was badly burned.

The two other performers from the Five Points concert, Gavin DeGraw and Perry Farrell, were not on the plane.

Hopefully Barker and Goldstein will survive their burns. This is terribly sad. Four people lost their lives.
