After forming an unimaginable bond over their survival of the harrowing plane crash that claimed the lives of four people last September, Travis Barker is speaking about his grief over losing his close friend, DJ AM

"Rest In Peace my brother, this really f---s me up," Barker tweeted earlier this evening. "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."

The famed drummer recently reunited with his longtime band Blink 182 and is currently on tour with the group. Blink is scheduled to take the stage in Hartford, Conn. tonight, but Travis went on to write about the difficulty of their impending show. "Don't know how i am gonna play 2night but i am for AM," read Barker's emotion-filled tweet. "My brother is gone.i love u and miss u, i'll never forget all the good times we had."
