Stars pay tribute to DJ AM

Adam Goldstein found dead in New York

DJ AM was once engaged to Nicole Richie

DJ AM has been found dead at his New York apartment from a suspected drug overdose.

The musician, real name Adam Goldstein, passed away on Friday at the age of 36.

‘I am absolutely heartbroken,’ says Mandy Moore, 25, who dated him in 2007.

‘For those of us lucky enough to have known him, Adam radiated a contagious exuberance for life and also personified the very definition of a true friend.

‘To say that he will be missed beyond words is an understatement. My heart goes out to his loved ones.’

DJ AM and Blink 182 drummer pal Travis Barker were the only survivors of a plane crash in September.

‘My brother is gone,’ Travis wrote on Twitter. ‘I love you and miss you. I'll never forget all the good times we had.

‘I'll never forget everything we've been through and every time I play the drums I'll think of you.

'You were an amazing friend/DJ/human being. Rest In Peace my brother, this really f***s me up.’
