Yeah read this

Quote:
Barker had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM.

Hospital officials later confirmed that DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Michael Goldstein, had also been admitted to the burn unit in critical condition.

It was not clear whether Farrell and DeGraw were also traveling with Barker.
Gavin Degraw or Perry Farrell might have been though. Ouch.

Associated Press also stated 2 of the dead were the crew members.

If you saw a pic of the plane, not good. He is listed as critical.

Wait. It says the plane was carrying 6 passengers. 4 were killed. DJ and Travis were taken to the burn unit... meaning Gavin and the rest are dead? Am I the only one whom noticed this?

He and Perry Farrell played an event with them, but it isn't clear that they were traveling with them.

No I pointed that out in the above post.

But it could be girlfriends, managers, or friends, not musicians.

not at all... I posted that over at Harmony Central about the same time as this thread.

I really hope it's not Gavin or Perry

Sad no matter who it may be though

Oh yes, Im deeply impacted whether it be them or not. One of my main musical influeneces, and reasons for playing music is Travis. This really sucks. Im hoping to God the burns arent super extensive, because he always said his tattoos are his life.

Im waiting for more info. If anyone finds any, post it here first. Please.

Not looking good.

From CNN

Quote:
Beth Frits, spokeswoman at the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, said Barker and Goldstein arrived at the hospital early Saturday. She said both men had "extensive burns."
As you know (or may not) with burn victims, the bigger the burn, the less chance there is for survival

The good news (if there is any) is they got out of the plane on their own.

Im hoping to God he wasnt 27.

The Buddy Holly Curse.

My SS teacher told me this yesterday, Im just going on his word.

Jimi Hendrix- 27 at death.
Janis Joplin- 27 at Death.
Kurt Cobain- 27 at death.
Buddy Holly- plane crash resulting in death, at 27.
A few more, but cant remember them

The Buddy Holly Curse, because he was the first to die.

Anyways, a very sad day in music.
