Just saw this and as a Blink 182 fan it kind of stings
Travis Barker and DJ AM were among six people aboard a Learjet that crashed upon takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina, airport after midnight Friday. The four others onboard were killed.
Barker, an ex-drummer for the rock band Blink 182 and the star of the MTV reality show Meet the Barkers, had performed at a free Friday-night college event with former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell, Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM.
Barker, 32, was taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, and was listed in critical condition Saturday morning - as was DJ AM (real name: Adam Michael Goldstein), 35, say officials at the facility.
"Both Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein are in critical but stable condition," Beth Frits, spokesperson for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, tells PEOPLE. "Goldstein was airlifted here and Barker was brought by ground transportation. So they arrived separately."

Wow, hadn't heard the tragic news yet.. hope that they can pull through it..
That's a bummer. Not a fan, but I hope the survivors can recover from their injuries and get their lives back together.
That's horrible. I hope they can both get through it, and best of luck to the families of those who died.
Man, so much tragedy this year with celebs. I wish the best to them & the families of those who lost loves one...
Wow, what a drag, hope they recover quickly. I was never a Blink fan but I have come to appreciate Travis Barker's formidable drumming skills from his youtube vids he's posted. Thanks for the headsup on this Kev.
i just saw an update, Travis was burned waist and below and AM all over his face and body.. he is way worse off then Travis. Hella sad.
