Three years to the day since DJ AM's tragic death due to an accidental drug overdose at the age of 36, the Blink-182 drummer took to Twitter to pay touching tribute to the late mix master and honor his pal's memory.
"Rest in Peace/Power 2 my brotha DJAM. Been 3 years it still feels like yesterday.Miss rockin/kickin' it hearing u drop knowledge," tweeted the 36-year-old Barker.
Barker and AM (real name Adam Goldstein) were pretty tight, but even more so after both survived a fiery Learjet crash in September 2008 that killed four other people. But the musician also recalled how much of a positive influence the star DJ was.
"Wish AM was still here for many reasons.He tried for years to get me sober & I was a dumpster & couldn't see thru the fog #finallydrugfree," wrote Barker, adding, "Bump every mix-tape he made today, turn that s--t up loud & enjoy. He was 1 of a kind. #ripdjam #awwwwyeah."
