Travis Barker and his band mates from blink-182 have announced that they are canceling a show due to the death of Travis' friend and fellow musician, DJ AM.

The band posted a statement to their Web site announcing the cancellation of their Monday night show, saying:

"Due to circumstances surrounding the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein, blink-182 will not be playing tonight in Saratoga, NY, at SPAC. Performances by Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French will take place as planned along with some special surprises. We thank all of our fans for their support in this tough time."

Travis tweeted on Saturday, "Don't know how I am gonna play 2night but I am for AM. My brother is gone. I love u and miss u, I'll never forget all the good times we had."

He went on to write, "I'll never forget everything we've been thru and every time I play the drums I'll think of you. U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being."

In closing, he tweeted, "Rest In Peace my brother, this really ****s me up."

Barker and Goldstein, who collaborated on music together, were the sole survivors of a 2008 plane crash that claimed four lives.

  • I hope all the fan's understand why this NEEDS to be done. I have been surrounded by too many sudden deaths, it pretty much rips the carpet out from underneath you. I hope Travis, Blink and family are allowed PRIVACY and time to grieve. God Bless...
