Travis Barker, the former drummer for rock group Blink-182, and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein have both been critically injured and placed in a burn center after a jet crash that killed four other passengers, authorities said.
The four others killed were two crew members and two passengers, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement.
The Learjet 60 took off shortly before midnight Friday, when air traffic controllers started seeing sparks. Shortly after leaving the runway, the Learjet crashed on a nearby road in Columbia, South Carolina. The NTSB has sent a Go Team to Columbia to investigate the crash. Barker and DJ AM have been taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia.
Travis Barker and DJ AM just released their brand new mixtape, Fix Your Facein early September. The project features well known tracks from acts such as The Beastie boys to Jay-Z, with Barker backing on the drums and DJ AM mixing the set. To download Fix Your Face, visit, http://trvsdjam.com/.
