I think drug addiction is one of those complicated things that a person can't make a good judgement call on unless they've been there. That's the impression that I've gotten from acquaintances who used to have addictions.
Regardless, I hope that whomever did his public relations puts the clamp on this so he can rest in peace and his family and loved ones can start to grieve without a circus surrounding his passing.

I'm totally with you Ariel! I've never used drugs before, but it's kindda hard and difficult to understand something or someone unless you've been in that position yourself. No one is perfect, everyone deals with their demons in different ways. My condolences and prayers goes out to his friends & families. RIP AM....

It's all sort of like high school, isn't it? "I may not have been close to so-and-so, but, OMG! Something happened! Look at how devastated I can be! Is anyone watching? HELLO! PERSON FEELING BAD OVER HERE!"

I thought the same things too, how many of these lowlife celebs cared for DJAM? When was the last time any of these celebretards spoke to him? called him? asked him if he needed anything? Everyone is going nuts with the twitter. They don't care for him, half of these people didn't even know him yet they go to their twitter to post how sad they are. Attention whores, that's all they are.
too bad it wasn't hohan or parisite

I can't believe some of the harsh quotes that some people are writing. Its no wonder that there is no value on human life anymore.

I agree, Those two are pretty worthless, but no one should wish death upon others. Not Cool!

go back to the basement lol you must read michael k...anyways rip DJAM..
Cass, you are a moron.
no she or he is not a moron. people like DJAM get to live the good life and don't appreciate it. maybe he should have tried the 9-5 life and struggled to pay bills. i have no sympathy for these unappreciative brats.

We don't know what was going on in his personal life. Having money doesn't automatically make somebody's life perfect - no, not even if you know where to shop.

To the cynical souls who commented: way to show some empathy. You have no idea what kind of emotional stress he was under after the horrible plane crash. It's not unusual for survivors to feel guilt for being alive while so many others died - and for some, that guilt and those horrible memories and images can be just too much or too alive to live with. Try to think before you blurt out thoughtless and distasteful comments.

I once had a conversation along these lines with somebody close to me. Her argument was that, sure, a rich person might still have problems, but at least they didn't have to worry about anything. Things finally sunk in when I asked her, "So, if your husband and sister died tomorrow, you'd be perfectly fine as long as you were sitting on a huge pile of money?"
Anyone who believes they would be OK with money in that type of situation is either heartless or lucky enough to never have lost a loved one.

The man just died hours ago, for crying out loud. Have a little respect. This isn't a fluff topic about some celebrity's bad fashion choice. If you don't have something nice to say about him, then just shut it. And to imply that he was an idiot for doing drugs after being given a second chance at life is ridiculous. He had a lot of suffering in his life and a lot to deal with. Some people have trouble coping. Right or wrong, it's a reality, and it's sad. I hope no one ever judges you as much as you've just judged a dead man.
NOBODY CARES. N O B O D Y! some dj died of an overdoes. OMG...life goes on. has nicole bichie made her statement yet?
10620 points
Actually, people do care. I'm sorry if you can't understand that.
I imagine that Richie won't have anything to say. Did they even remain friends after they broke up? Regardless, if I had an ex who was famous and passed, I wouldn't be making statements to the media, especially if I still felt kindly towards him. I'd be grieving, and that's not something any decent person would want to make a spectacle of.
...counting the steps to the door of my heart...
i don't give a f&ck that DJAM died. 99% of the population doesn't even know who he is. just another druggie OD. oh, i forgot, he's special because he dated the SUPERSTAR nicole richie
10620 points
He was special for more reasons than that.
...counting the steps to the door of my heart...
You just made a complete and utter ass of yourself by writing that comment. Well done!

Didn't he struggle with drug use long before the plane crash? From what I understand he had been clean for awhile. Maybe the stress form the crash caused him to spiral back into drug use.
Who the hell is this loser and why should everyone get so goddamn sappy and philosophical - especially these empty skulls?

wow, even if you didn't know/like his stuff, its really disrespectful to say such horrible things at such a time.

I think too many people get used to hiding behind their screens and not having to deal with the consequences of their thoughtlessness.
...counting the steps to the door of my heart...
I agree. It would seem like people are competing to write the most heartless comments. Probably more among the teens. People writing these comments can't possibly be adults.
I knew who he was, not personally, but I knew that he was a dj.
He dated Nicole Richie.
He was a dj in a band I loved in the early 2000's.
I knew he was a recovering drug addict. I knew that he was one of those djs that "didn't need to do drugs to have a good time." I know that to overcome addiction and to be involved in a career like that takes a lot will power.
I just learned that he had issues growing up, that he suffered from depression. Had issues with his dad, and that probably started his heartbreak in life. He even tried to commit suicide when he was younger, but he "got lucky" and the gun jammed.
He had self esteem issues, never felt good enough.
Felt like a failure.
You know, it's a story a lot of us "normal folk" have ironically enough.
I know that he was in a plane wreck and he watched several people die while trying to get them out while he was naked and half burned.
Seems really traumatic - I couldn't ever possibly think I would have to go through something like that. If I did, I would most defiantly see myself on medications to help COPE with what I just had to go through. I would also know that it would open that door to my addiction again and try to be very careful.
However, what some of you aren't taking into account is that addiction is a disease. DIS-EASE. It can not be cured with money or fame. It starts early in life though moments in time, turns into a monster that we sometimes can not control. It doesn't make you weak, it makes you human.
I will say, I personally didn't follow him or go to many of his shows. But today, today I morn him for the fact he had a kypotonite, as we all do. His got to him at a moment when there was no one left to reach out their hand.
It's tragic, and if you believe that he was better off dead - you should watch what you say because you may not get a chance to take it back.
3445 points
I couldn't agree with you more. People are quick to judge and think that he could have easily sought help and been "cured" when in all actuality, you are never cured of addiction. It's something you deal with every day for the rest of your life. I can see how such a tragic situation such as the plane crash he endured could push him over the edge. It's a horrible ending but it happens way too often. And part of the problem is people not having the support they need because others don't understand addiction and that there is no cure all.

I didn't know any of the above except that he had dated Nicole Richie. I feel sad for him. It's like he didn't have peace at the end.

Not being heartless or sarcastic but asking a serious question - what did Adam do other then DJ? I only know him from the gossip sites - Mandy Moore, the plane crash, Nicole Ritchie. People are talking like he was a saint. A death is always sad and I feel for his family. They are going to feel horrible for probably the rest of their lives.
Did he have to do more than join hundreds, if not thousands, of people together with music?
If men can be "worshiped" under scripture, WHY CAN'T THEY BE RESPECTED under song?
Again, I wasn't a big AM fan, but the cup runneth over with people wanting to know if he did more - like you all need it for it to be respected. -c3
hes human, have respect for him dead or alive. rip am
For reasons I dont have time to trouble-shoot, there is too much latency between my house and Cox, my Internet provider here in Santa Barbara.On top of that, re-setting my SMTP (outbound email) to smtp.west.cox.net, which has always worked in the past, doesnt work this time.

Who gives a shit what these stupid ass celebrities think. Go f**k yourselves.... Bandwagon chumps.
Great, another 11 year old commenting.
I think it's because no one really cares about DJ's. They are synonymous with drugs..... which is why people say "you made the bed, now lay in it". I don't really have any respect for DJ AM. So he made people come together and listen to his music. Big deal. And btw, being a dj is not hard. Anyone with a basic music background can spit out retarded beats and wave their hands in the air. And if you say, well he was the best.... it's not what you know, it's who you know.... hence, why he was such a celebrity... and not to mention all of his wanker celebrity friends that feel their stupid little RIP's and messages they are sending out actually makes us care. Get a life. Drugs kill people. If he had any brain at all, he would know not to drink 6 redbulls a night, plus whatever else crap he was shoveling into his body. Not to mention, he has already cheated death twice before, so I hate to say it, but I was expecting him to die young. He didn't respect his own life, so why should any of us care?
Most of those people who knew him (celebs and non-celebs) didn't even mention his DJ abilities. Obviously he touched the people who met him on some level. He seemed to have a good heart. But here's the thing...drug abuse is an addiction, and i don't think people really understand the full meaning of the word addiction - you can't just snap your fingers and get rid of it...it's something you have to fight with all your strength. DJ AM did that and he was free of his addiction for 9 years. But experiencing that traumatic plane crash probably pushed him over the edge and back into his addiction. Try to put yourself in his position when he lived through that crash. It would push anyone over the edge..you would need help/therapy/medication to try and cope with the memory of those vivid images and sounds and smells, and still they would probably haunt you forever.
You ask why any of us should care..well some of us care because we're human, we have empathy. I care - not because he was a somewhat famous DJ, but because he was a human who struggled until his addiction killed him (probably), and I can empathize with that. I can try to put myself in his position and imagine what it would be like. Not just with him, but with anyone.
I don't give a sh*t if you care or not. I just wanted to make it clear that not everyone is as cold as you are.
Hope you've found peace where you are now, Adam Goldstein.
shanna moakler didnt say that. that wasnt her tweet. that was dj am's last tweet before he went off the grid. shanna's tweet said something about loving him and resting in peace.
yeah, that's what it says ding-dong

Some people don't understand why people are saddened by his death. Maybe it's because a lot of people can see themselves or someone they know and love in him and his situation. A lot of people have gone through some of the things that he went through. Addiction, emotional abuse as a child, obesity, and recovery. People liked him, because you could relate to him. And it was encouraging to see someone go through everything he went through and have the will power and strength to TURN IT ALL AROUND. He made a really great life for himself. One that he should've been extremely proud of. And in one moment of despair, it was all gone. One moment and one decision ended 11 1/2 years of sobriety and ended a life. That's why people are upset. Because it happens everyday to friends and family and it's really f*ing sad. And to top it all off, it seems he was one hell of a nice guy. So, if you people out there don't understand why others are upset at a death, then go to another thread. Go read about Posh spice and what she's wearing today.
very, very, very, very well put.
thank you.

looks like he was good friends with many celebrities. sucks he had to die the way he did after surviving that horrible plane crash.
Who is DJ AM ..... seriously..
You have to understand what DJ AM had gone through growing up, having a father who verbally abuses you, not only that, a father who was an addict and homosexual. Isn't that going to fuck you up. In spite of all these, plus his addiction to drugs, food, he tried his best to lead a normal life, sharing his talents, making everyone happy plus the fact that he tried his best to help other addicts. The plane crash was just too much for him to bear, he already had a fucked up life to beign with, after having gone through so much and was just starting to begin a normal life, this crash happens. Some people are strong some are not, but bear in mind, the guy tried his best. Rest in peace Adam, I love you. Please let us let him rest in peace, leave him alone. I pray for your eternal happiness, too bad we never met.
You cannot judge Adam, first you have to understand what he had gone through growing up with an abusive father, who didn't only screw him up but a father who is an addict and a homosexual who had died of aids. Our environemnt and foundation shapes who we are. I think we should give him credit, despite of turning into an addict himself, he was able to stay sober for more than 10 years and has made something out of his talent, not only that, he also helped a lot of epople stay out of drugs. He chose to straighten out his life, developing his skills furthermore. The craash was a big blow to him, anyone who had been through something similar would understand. It's sad that he didn't have proper counseling and that nobody strong enough was around to guide him. It was just too much for him, plus all teh medication he started taking to ease the pain, the anxiety. It is easy for us to judge, but we should take a minute and understand, Adam, I am so sorry you had to go through so much in your life. But you have touched the hearts of many with your genuine friendship and just by being who you are. I love you, pity we never had a chance to meet.
