David Tonnessen, PacificCoastNews.com
Travis Barker and DJ AM were aboard a Lear Jet plane that crashed shortly after takeoff out of Columbia, South Carolina airport last night. The crash killed at least four people and the two rock stars have survived but are critically injured and being treated in a burn unit. Travis a former drummer from the rock band Blink 182 and also star of the MTV reality show ‘Meet the Barkers’. He has been performing for a college event on Friday evening with Perry Farrell, former Jane’s Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM. Travis was taken to a burn unit in August Georgia and as of this morning is listed in critical condition. DJ AM also was admitted to the burn unit and as well is in critical condition. Reps for Gavin DeGraw and Perry Farrell state that neither of these rock stars were on board the plane. Four fatalities resulted from the crash including two on board passengers as well as two crew members and have not yet been identified. Critical but stable is how the conditions of Travis and DJ AM are being listed, though it is believed that Travis’s injuries are more severe as he was airlifted immediately to the burn unit while DJ AM arrived by ground transportation. This year Travis finalized his divorce to former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, and the couple have two very young children together – Landon Asher who is three, and Alabama Luella who is two. DJ AM, legally known as Adam Goldstein, has never been married but is well known for a highly publicized engagement with Nicole Richie. Our hearts and prayers are with the families that lost loved ones. As well our prayers go to both Travis Barker and DJ AM for a speedy and full recovery so that little Landon and Alabama can have their daddy home soon.
