DJ AM’s photo: Minutes before tragic plane crash

By Robin Leach

Adam Goldstein -- DJ AM -- poses in front of the Learjet that crashed Friday night, leaving him and Travis Barker badly burned.

Luxe Life has obtained the photo that Adam Goldstein -- DJ AM -- took on his cell-phone beside the Learjet less than 10 minutes before it crashed killing the two pilots and two passengers. Adam and drummer Travis Barker leapt from the plane in flames before it broke apart in a fireball at midnight on Friday.

Travis and Adam are being treated in a special burn-unit hospital in Augusta, Ga. Family members are maintaining a vigil there. Doctors expect them to make a full recovery but stress that it could take up to a year of specialized treatments. However they hope it will be less than that because both men were in good physical shape and had no other injuries other than the burns.
