TRVSDJ-AM TO PERFORM FOR FIRST TIME SINCE PLANE CRASH

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ Adam Goldstein - aka DJ AM - are to perform together for the first time since surviving a plane crash.

The pair were left with second- and third-degree burns after the Learjet in which they were travelling crashed into a road while trying to take off, leaving its pilot, co-pilot and two of Barker's staff dead.

They had performed a free concert in Columbia, South Carolina under the name TRVSDJ-AM and were en route to California when the crash occurred.

It was announced on Monday that the duo will headline a New Year's Eve party in Los Angeles, mere months after they were both hospitalised by the crash.

Barker and Goldstein were the only survivors of the crash which led to the deaths of pilot, Sarah Lemmon, 31; co-pilot, James Bland, 52; Barker's assistant, Chris Baker, 29, and Charles Still, 25, Barker's security guard.

According to South Carolina police lieutenant Josh Shumpert, Barker and Goldstein were forced to slide down the right wing of the crashed aircraft to escape the blaze.

It is thought a tyre blowout may have been responsible for the crash.
