Trailer for Adam Goldstein's MTV Documentary
Here is the trailer for MTV’s documentary “Gone Too Far”, the one-hour, seven-episode documentary series hosted and developed by Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein. The show premieres on Monday, October 12th at 10pm ET/PT and chronicles young addicts between the ages of 20-25 in the grip of addiction who are offered a chance at recovery.
Are you planning on tuning in? I still can't believe they are going to air it.
DJ AM's MTV Drug Dependence Documentary Will Air Next Month
DJ AM’s documentary about drug dependence is set to air next month. The eight-part series ‘Gone Too Far’ – in which the late star, real name Adam Goldstein, speaks about his own addictions and his 11-year fight to get sober - will be broadcast on MTV from October 12.
It will show him meeting with fellow addicts and families who have been devastated by substance abuse. It will also show the musician trying to help them on the road to recovery.
It comes just weeks after DJ AM died of acute intoxication due to substance abuse and his family hopes the series will help others affected by addiction.
In a statement posted on MTV.com, the Goldstein family said:
"It is our hope through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and caring person who gave so much of himself to help others. The decision to air the show has been difficult, but we do this with the profound belief that it will inspire others to seek help."
DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment in August. A coroner’s report revealed the 36-year-old star was taking cocaine, oxycodone, Vicodin, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and levamisole at the time of his death.
What do you think about the family wanting the show to air? Adam was lying to the people he was trying to help claiming that he was no longer using.
DJ AM's Death Ruled Accidental
The New York City Medical Examiner has determined that DJ AM's (legal name, Adam Goldstein) death was accidental, according to TMZ.
The M.E. says the cause of death is "acute intoxication" due to the combined effects of cocaine, oxycodone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and Levamisole (a drug used to cut cocaine with).
The manner of death is listed as "accident (substance abuse)."
You may or may not have heard that MTV has decided to go ahead and air DJ AM's show, 'Gone Too Far,' where DJ AM stages interventions for people suffering from addictions, this October as was planned before his untimely death. This tragedy will surely make the tone of the show even more grave.
At least his family and friends know what happened. I hope that gives them some comfort.
