Travis Barker DJ AM Plane Crash

For the three of you who haven’t heard, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were the only survivors of a plane crash Saturday that left four people dead. The pair had performed at a free concert near the University of South Carolina with Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. They are currently being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center for second- and third-degree burns. According to the AP:

“Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky,” Mullins told reporters during a news conference Sunday morning.

Barker was burned on his torso and lower body and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was burned on an arm and a portion of his scalp, according to a statement from the musicians’ families released by the hospital. Mullins declined to discuss specific recovery times for the men, but said such injuries can take a year to fully heal.

Both men are still in critical but stable condition, he said.

Authorities believe that a blown tire caused the crash.

Celeb News Daily hopes for a quick and healthy recovery for Travis Barker and DJ AM and would like to extend our heart-felt condolences to the families of Chris Baker, Charles Still, Sarah Lemmon and James Bland.
