Travis Barker comments on DJ AM's passing

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 8/29/09 @ 11:08 PM - altpress.com

Travis Barker, drummer of Blink-182, has commented on the untimely death of his friend and musical collaborator Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein via his Twitter account. Barker posted three separate entries, which when put together read as follows:

"Don't know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM. My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i'll never forget all the good times we had.

I'll never forget everything we've been thru and every time i play the drums i'll think of you. U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being.

Rest In Peace my brother, this really fucks me up."

Barker and Goldstein had been performing together as TRVSDJAM for the past few years, and recently released a digital mixtape together. The two musicians were forever connected after they were the only survivors of a Learjet crash in South Carolina that eventually helped spawn the current Blink-182 reunion.
