DJ AM Pays Respect To Chris Baker At Memorial Service
{I don't have the rights to post the pictures of DJ AM after the accident. Click here to see him.}
Despite the request of his doctors to rest and stay home, Adam Goldstein stunned mourners at pal Chris Baker's memorial service on Monday in an attempt to pay his respects.
With his burn and neck injuries covered by bandages, DJ AM attended the service in Los Angeles.
For those of you who haven't heard the connection, Baker was Travis Barker’s assistant.
The drummer was unable to attend the service because he’s driving back from South Carolina to L.A. after spending a week in hospital following the plane crash. I have a feeling Travis won't be flying for a very, very long time.

DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, changed his update status on his Facebook page Friday afternoon, writing just one sentence: "Adam Goldstein is the luckiest guy alive." His rep also released a statement Friday, stating
"While he is deeply saddened by the events he is thankful for all of
the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends world
wide, we ask that you continue
respect his privacy as he rests and heals and mourns the loss of his
friends."
I wish him and Travis a speedy recovery while they mourn the loss of close friends.

DJ AM Returns To Los Angeles Via Bus
Adam Goldstein has returned to Los Angeles from Georgia, where he has been hospitalized since last Saturday after a plane crash, which left four dead.
Goldstein, aka DJ AM, took the bus home from Augusta’s Joseph Still Burn Center, where he was treated for second and third-degree burns.
As WENN went to press, it was not known when Travis Barker would be returning to Los Angeles.
I wonder if these two will ever fly again. I'm not so sure I would be able to. But with time, all things heal...
Blown Tire May Have Caused Plane Crash With DJ Am And Travis Barker
This just goes to show that no matter how careful an airline is, anything can happen. People is reporting that the plane crash involving Travis Barker and DJ AM may have been caused by a blown tire.
"The cockpit voice recorder went on for two hours, but the last 18
minutes were most pertinent, because those words proved that it was a
tire blowout that [may have] caused the crash killing four people,"
Debbie Hersman, board member of the National Transportation Safety
Board in Washington, D.C., tells PEOPLE.
"After getting their clearance from Air Traffic Control, the
plane only got 80 knots on the 8,600-foot runway before the incident,"
she said.
UGH. I got chills just reading that. Life is too short. Also in news related to the crash, Mandy Moore just flew in to be with DJ AM. I wonder if Nicole Richie will be visiting anytime soon...
Travis Barker And DJ AM Expected To Make Full Recover
Great news! AP just released a statement from the doctor who is treating Travis Barker and DJ AM. He promises BOTH parties will make a full recovery. Dr.
Fred Mullins also noted that they are being treated for second and third degree burns. Burns like these can take up to a year to recover from.
Mullins says Barker was burned on his
torso and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was burned on his
hands and part of his head. The doctor says both men are still in
critical but stable condition.
In addition to this news, it has also been announced that the plane was not flying home because Chris Baker's wife was in labor. Not that it matters really, but a lot of people are saying that's why they were on the small plane.
Statements Released About Barker / Goldstein Crash
This crash has really shaken people. I for one can't stop thinking about it. In fact, I keep remembering when Aaliyah's jet went down. I LOVED her as she was my favorite artist and was really devastated. At least Travis Barker and DJ AM can live to tell the tale... but what about the four other people on the plane who's families weren't so lucky. It's just awful.
More updates were available this morning about the crash and how it is rippling through Hollywood. DJ AM's rep has released this statement regarding her client and Travis Barker's condition and request for privacy.
Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) are in critical but stable condition and are being treated at Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia after surviving a plane crash late last night in Columbia, South Carolina The hospital will issue a statement with an update on their condition at 9:00 am eastern time tomorrow. Due to the nature of the injuries and the evolving course of treatment no further information on their condition is available at this time. The accident claimed the lives of four people on board, two of whom, Chris Baker (Lil Chris) and Charles Stills (Che), were close friends of the injured. On behalf of Travis Barker and DJ AM, deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of all who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them, their families, and friends is requested at this time.
Lindsay Lohan also used her MySpace account to pay tribute to the victims of the crash as well as those she knew.
"Please send your prayers out to Adam Goldstien (sic) and Travis Barker
- along with the others lost in the plane crash… it’s so scary to think
that life can end so fast… we must all treasure each and every moment
and be thankful for what we have."

Update On Travis Barker And Adam Goldstein's Condition
As some of you may know, I am in Vegas for a blogging conference and had to step out of my room for a few hours. I just wanted to thank all readers who actively kept the information piping in during my absence. That's what makes blogs so wonderful... the shared community aspect and the general concern felt by all for these men.
For those of you who haven't read through the comments on the original post about the plane crash that killed several people and injured Travis Barker and DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), here is a recap. I've also included additional information I found while scanning the web for updates.
- Chris Baker, the third passenger to die in the crash was Travis' assistant. He was frequently on Meet the Barkers and just welcomed a new baby into the world. Picture here.
- DJ AM has severe burns all over his face. Travis' injuries are concentrated from the waist down.
- Shanna Moakler has rushed to Travis' side. They have decided to NOT tell the children yet until more answers are found.
- Travis did not want to be airlifted like Adam... perhaps because of what just happened. The crew had to knock him out to even transport him via car.
- "Shanna spoke to Travis last night. He was defiant after the accident
and didn't want to be lifted in a helicopter, but rather an ambulance,
so they had to knock him out."
