The selflessness that Adam Goldstein showed Monday is humbling. DJ AM manned up and  dragged his burned and battered body out to attend a memorial service for Chris Barker Monday.

He was photographed with his awful burns poking out of the top of his very un-DJ AM like golf shirt as he headed out to pay his respects to his friend.

Doctors in Georgia say that Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) should recover fully, but it make take up to a year. Travis was burned on his torso and lower body, while DJ AM, was burned on his arms and a portion of his head.

Dr. Fred Mullins of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors’ Hospital in Augusta said at a press conference that former Blink 182 drummer Barker, 32, and DJ Am (real name: Adam Goldstein), 35, are being treated for second- and third-degree burns.  Mullins says recovery from such burns can take as long as a year but says that the men suffered no other injuries, adding: “Since both Barker and Goldstein are in overall good health and didn’t suffer from any other crash-related complications, a full recovery is expected.”

All families involved in the horrific plane have requested privacy for time to grieve and come to terms with this tragedy. This means if you live in Augusta, Georgia stay the hell away from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center. If you show up there looking for an autograph Shanna Moakler just might kick your ass.

Bits and pieces of information is streaming in about what happened in the first few seconds after the jet that was flying DJ AM, Travis Barker and four more people crashed late last night.

A local resident was driving down the highway next to the airport when he saw a huge “fireball” go across the road. William Owens said it took a few seconds for him to process that it was actually an airplane.

According to Owens, two men (presumably Travis and DJ AM) were running around and stripping down to extinguish themselves. He said he asked the men if there was anyone else on board the plane and they told him there had been four more with them. “We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do,” Owens said.

DJ AM was so badly burned he had to airlifted out, but Travis was stable enough to be driven in an ambulance.
