Adam Michael Goldstein (March 30, 1973 – August 28, 2009) was an American club disc jockey better known as DJ AM. Goldstein was a former member of the rock band Crazy Town, and scratched on albums for Papa Roach, Madonna, and Will Smith, among others. He collaborated with Travis Barker of Blink-182 at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and has appeared in several television series. Goldstein’s former fiancée was Nicole Richie.
Former blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM have come together for a new mixtape called Fix Your Face, which you can download for free here. …
Celebrity disc jockey Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, was found dead Friday evening in his New York City apartment, and media reports say drug paraphernalia was found nearby.
In September of 2008, Goldstein and Barker were seriously burned escaping the plane crash. The pair had planned to perform together for the first time since the crash at an event in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.
Reports indicate that Mr Goldstein had a history with drugs and it appeared he won the battle. Current news also indicates the battle may have been won but the war continued. To survive an aircraft accident and perhaps conquer other major obstacles to become successful in his chosen arena serves as a stunning reminder. Being on the edge and vulnerable poses a risk for which luck is certainly inadequate protection.
RIP DJ AM
