August 28, 2009, DJ AM, (Adam Goldsetin) died at the age of 36 of an alleged drug overdose. AM struggled with addiction but was sober for over nine years. He was found in his apartment in New York City. DJ AM became well-known by playing shows with Travis Barker from Blink-182. AM and Travis were involved in a plane crash last year, which left four dead. This makes his death all the more tragic. He was also known for being engaged to Nicole Richie. It is not often that DJ’s are even slightly known by the mainstream, so it is a sad day for music to not know what AM may have created in the future.
