US rocker Travis Barker said he is ‘thankful’ to have known his late pal DJ AM this Thanksgiving.

The 34-year-old drummer was good friends with DJ AM, full name Adam Goldstein, who died in August this year after suffering an accidental drug overdose.

The pair escaped death in a plane crash in September 2008, in which two members of their crew and two other passengers lost their lives.

He wrote on his Twitter page: “Excited 2 be alive and healthy. Thankful 2 have known DJAM, Chris & Che. Thankful 4 everything & everybody in my life. Happy Thanksgiving.”

Barker is also referring to Chris Barker and Charles ‘Che’ Still, who were two of the plane crash victims last year.

Travis Barker has taken to Twitter to mourn the loss of his close friend DJ AM.

The pair were close pals and were the only survivors of an horrific plane crash back in September 2008 that left them both badly burned.

DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment on August 28. He was 36.

Now Barker has been leaving messages on his Twitter page, revealing how much he is already missing DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein.

Barker wrote: “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 then shortly followed that with another Tweet: “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.”

And finally Barker wrote: “Rest In Peace my brother, this really f***s me up.”

Travis Barker has revealed his band Blink-182 have finished a new song for their next album and will be playing it on tour this summer.

Travis, 33, is working with his old band again after they recently reunited.

He said: “We all got together and met up and, almost immediately, we got inspired. So it went from just playing around together to being like: ‘Let’s lay down demos! And tour!’”

He added: “And, to be honest, it was crazy. I was still recovering from all my surgeries [from his plane crash in September], and was way out of it when we first got back in there.

“I was in no shape to be in the studio, and we were kinda held back a bit. We decided to just get used to playing with each other again.”

Their new track will be called Up All Night, and Travis said fans will be able to hear it on their tour later this year. He admitted that their new songs have been inspired by old material.

He said: “When we do go in [to make the new album], it’s gonna be like that. You can’t help but have everything on the table… all the stuff we’ve done – like +44 and Angels & Airwaves – since we last played and recorded, it will influence the new stuff.”

He added: “In the case of Up All Night, it feels like it could’ve been on the last record, or right where the last one left off.

“It’s kind of heavy. It all makes sense. The pieces are all together.”

Barker, who came with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, said he literally jumped out of his hospital bed numb hand and all just to be at the Grammy. He is suffering from bad nerve damage which explains the surgery and supposedly the 8 to 10 weeks recovery period. The Blink 182 drummer suffered second and third degree burns due the plane crash. He is set for a couple more surgeries in the near future.

Travis Barker of Blink 182 fame is usually rockin? it out. With his tattoos, mo-hawk and piercings, you would hardly think of him as a hip hop act. But a video has been posted on YouTube where the drummer is making use of his talent to pound out the song ?Crank That? by Soulja Boy. And anyone can say that his remix is fantastic as he put his rock star attitude on the mega hit.

I just think it?s sad that the Soulja Boy is getting pretty commercial. Children to ballet to it, Natalie Portman dances to it and Travis did a remix of it. If by some miracle, Britney decides to dance again and learn the Soulja Boy dance, it?s over!
