The funeral for Adam Goldstein “DJ AM” was held Wednesday at Hillside Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

Many of his friends in the music and entertainment world came to pay their respects and lay to rest the popular but troubled musician.

DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment August 28 of an apparent drug overdose. The DJ survived a plane crash last September with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The crash killed four others, and it has been widely reported that DJ AM suffered survivor’s guilt.

After struggling to get through a concert in Hartford last week in the wake of DJ AM’s death, the band canceled a show in upstate New York.

“Due to circumstances surrounding the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein, Blink-182 will not be playing tonight in Saratoga, NY at SPAC,” the band said in a statement posted on their website. “We thank all of our fans for their support in this tough time.”

The band promised that the Saratoga show would go on with performances by Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French and “some special surprises.”

“Saratoga, our sincerest apologies that we have to cancel tonight,” Blink-182′s Mark Hoppus said on his Twitter feed. “We didn’t know until late this afternoon.”

The band played a tearful tribute to DJ AM, Adam Goldstein, at their Hartford show, pausing for a moment of silence during the concert.

After news broke of DJ AM’s sudden death, members of Blink-182, including drummer Travis Barker, had to face the crowd in Hartford Saturday night.

“This night is really hard for us on stage,” bassist Mark Hoppus said from the stage, according to People. “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.”

Barker was one of the survivors, with DJ AM, of a September 2008 plane crash in South Carolina that claimed four other lives.

Blink-182 held a moment of silence for their fallen friend and played a song called “Down,” in his honor. All three bandmates cried.

“We are doing our very best to get through this show,” said Hoppus, “but right now it’s very hard.”

DJ AM was found dead in his New York City apartment Friday. He was 36.

“Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein was found deceased this afternoon in his New York City apartment,” said Jenni Weinman, Goldstein’s publicist, in a statement. “The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear. Out of respect for his family and loved ones, please respect their privacy at this time.”

TMZ reported that the famed DJ’s body was found at 5:20 p.m. The gossip site that also broke Michael Jackson’s death also claimed prescription medication bottles had been found near his body.

The death of DJ AM comes about a year after he and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina that killed four other people.

Blast ran into DJ AM and Barker in Hollywood in June during the E3 convention. They opened an amazing, celebrity-stacked show with Jay-Z and Eminem.

The apparent overdose with speculations about suicide is troubling. DJ AM survived a plane crash, which led to doctors finding a potentially fatal blood clot.

DJ AM’s Twitter account has a final entry dated August 25 that reads “New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems,” quoting a 1983 Grandmaster Flash song.

Nine days after surviving a deadly plane crash, popular musician Adam Michael Goldstein, known as‚ DJ AM,‚ has been released from the hospital.

Four people were killed in the crash including the crew.

Last night, Barker’s business partner and hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri told reporters that it is likely that Barker will be released from the hospital as well within the next two weeks.

Goldstein was said to have suffered second and third-degree burns to his upper body and head from the fire that occurred after the plane crashed.

A South Carolina Leerjet crash has killed four and left former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Adam Michael Goldstein (DJ AM) in critical condition at an area hospital burn unit.

The plane never made it off the ground for takeoff. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen told reporters that the plane carrying was departing before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks. The plane careened off the runway and crashed on a roadway.

The pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, CA co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, CA, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, CA, and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles, CA died in the crash.

Barker and Goldstein were in South Carolina for a concert. Officials said that Gavin DeGraw and Parrey Farrell, who preformed at the same concert, were not on the plane.

An eyewitness told local NBC affiliate WIS-10 that the two survivors could be seen running around, on fire, trying to extinguish themselves.
