Mark Ronson, Cut Chemist among DJ AM’s friends to perform at benefit concert
NEW YORK - Friends of DJ AM are throwing a party to welcome the celebrity disc jockey home after he survived a fiery plane crash last month in South Carolina.
Mark Ronson, Cut Chemist, Steve Aoki and other AM pals will perform at the event, which will be held Tuesday night at the Avalon nightclub in Hollywood, Calif.
DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, and former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker suffered severe burns in the Sept. 19 crash at the main airport in Columbia. Two pilots and two other passengers were killed.
Tickets cost $20.
All proceeds will go to memorial funds for the crash victims, organizers said Wednesday.
Jenni Weinman, the disc jockey’s publicist, said she didn’t know if he would attend the event. He and Barker were recently released from a burn hospital in Augusta, Ga.; Barker is now being treated at a hospital in Los Angeles.
Doctors have said they expect both men to fully recover.
