March 30th, 1973 – August 28th, 2009 – he was 36

The sad news of Adam’s death hit me while I was at work yesterday. I’ve followed DJ AM since I moved to LA. He was not only one of the top DJ’s in Hollywood but he was known to travel all around to open up new clubs and venue’s. I still cannot believe he has passed. Just last year he survived a plane crash in which 4 died and 2 injured. His good friend Travis Barker was one of the injured along with AM.

He was found dead in his New York apartment from what was assumed to be an overdose. Unfortunately he had a relapse after many years of being sober. Many are saying it could be because of his brush of death last year with the plane accident which brought on the drug use.

So many DJ’s and fans are mourning his death today. Twitter alone can prove how many are hurting from this loss. He will be missed.

RIP Adam. click to read his wikipedia page here
