NEWS: Details Emerge in DJ AM’s Death


DJ AM, 36, the celebrity spinmaster who was born Adam Goldstein, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose yesterday afternoon (August 28) in his Manhattan apartment.

According to the New York Daily News, authorities found a half-empty bag of crack under AM’s deceased body along with a crack pipe. Investigators also found several bottles of prescription medications used to treat anxiety on his kitchen counter.

In previous interviews AM told reporters he had been sober for eleven years after battling a severe drug addiction in his early twenties. He was working on a show with MTV called Gone Too Far along with Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg - who served as the show’s executive producer - where he helped to stage interventions for troubled teens. The fate of the show is unclear at press time.

Just last year AM was involved in a tragic plane crash with friend and musical collaborator Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. They were the only survivors in the accident; two crew members and two other passengers died.

AM had extensive ties to the hip-hop community. Throughout his career as a DJ he had worked with Jay-Z, Will Smith and Madonna as well as forming a group with Barker called TRV$DJAM that perfomed as a house band for last years MTV Video Music Awards, where he backed up such acts as Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco. DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Drama, ?uestlove, Alchemist, DJ Premier and DJ A-Trak were among the friends that expressed their condolences to him on their Twitter accounts.

As of press time plans for his burial are unknown.

Matisyahu - One Day



sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I'm breathing
then I pray
don't take me soon
cause i'm here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we dont wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
it's not about
win or lose
because we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but dont let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so my negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we dont wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down the the hate
one day we'll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom like
one day x2
all my live I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day x6
ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
