DJ AM

Gone Too Far Episode 1 Premieres Tonight

DJ AM had completed filming an eight-episode drug documentary, Gone Too Far, for MTV before his tragic drug overdose. The network and Adam Goldstein's family didn't know whether or not they should air the footage, but Adam's family issued a statement, saying,

"Adam felt strongly that by doing this series... Helping people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam's life."

Adam would have partially died in vein if MTV did not air his series. He was a compassionate mentor and advocate for recovering addicts ever since he got sober. Gone Too Far's message is so much clearer in light of Adam's deadly relapse.

I've set my DVR and it's exciting to know that the world will get to know Adam, and not just for his talent.

RIP.

A few of DJ AM's friends put together this great tribute video in honor of their pal.

Travis Barker was touched by the video and left the following message on his Twitter page.

"This vid makes me smile from ear 2 ear and tear at the same time, miss u homie."

This is a great tribute to AM, so watch and enjoy!

The service was held in the mortuary and then moved outside around 4 p.m. A procession of cars followed the hearse to the back of one of L.A.'s most prominent Jewish cemeteries for a somber burial, which lasted 15 minutes.

Some of his friends that attended the ceremony were Nicole Richie, Joel and Benji Madden, Travis Barker, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Scott Caan, and Hayley Wood.

DJ AM Death May Have Been Suicide

More information is coming out regarding DJ AM's death, and it may have been suicide.

Sources believe that the amount of drugs found in his system and how quickly he took them, are signs that he was trying to kill himself. 

The finding suggests that DJ AM – real name Adam Goldstein – swallowed the powerful painkillers quickly. "He wanted to die," says the source, who says the suicide theory is supported by the pills and other evidence. "He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn't even swallow it."

A crack pipe was found laying next to AM at the time of his death, and they also found crack underneath his body when he was moved. I personally don't think he tried to commit suicide, I wonder if it was more of a drug binge gone wrong.

Watch Episodes From DJ AM's Reality Show 'Gone Too Far'

DJ AM gets candid with MTV for his new reality show, Gone Too Far.

DJ AM had been sober for 11 years before he died of an alleged overdose last week. Before his tragic death, he had helped many people with their own sobriety for years. His efforts were mostly unknown until he finally joined forces with MTV in a new show that would give us all a glimpse at Adam Goldstein - the mentor, and not just DJ AM - the talented DJ.

These videos are short, interesting and incredibly eerie.

DJ AM Spins on These Live Performances From 2006 - 2008

I searched the internets for DJ AM live videos and I'll break 'em down into two posts. Most of Adam Goldstein's gigs have been in clubs, naturally, and those dark environments suck for recording videos. But I found some well-lit spinning footage of him that I think is great. Enjoy.

 

Blink-182 Members Pay Tribute to DJ AM

Saturday night's Hartford, Conn., Blink-182 concert was rough for all three band members. Bassist Mark Hoppus told the crowd,

"This night is really hard for us on stage. We lost a dear friend yesterday. His name was Adam Goldstein. You probably know him as DJ AM. He was an innovator and a genius and he loved music more than anything else. Above all he was a dear friend."

Before the concert, crewmembers tossed TRV$ DJ-AM CDs into the audience.

Blink dedicated their song "Down" to Adam Goldstein.

As guitarist Tom DeLonge delivered the lyric "I need you so bad," tears rolled down the cheeks of all three members of Blink-182.  "We are doing our very best to get through this show," said Hoppus, "but right now it's very hard."

Travis Barker reportedly remained silent and did not smile or laugh during the show. He also did not interact with the crowd and left the stage before Tom DeLonge finished a song.

When the concert ended, Mark told the crowd that they wouldn't want to spend the day "anywhere else" and thanked fans for their support.

A friend arrived at Adam's apartment to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his door. The friend then called the police, who entered and found his body.

DJ AM, 36, survived a plane crash with Travis Barker in South Carolina in September of 2008.

Adam was always said to be an extremely nice, down to earth individual. The talented DJ had battled drug addiction and obesity in the past, but had successfully overcome his addiction.

Drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.

How tragic! Adam will truly be missed.
