The Hospital ended all contact with the media on the patients at the Sunday Night update. All of inquiry's will go through their publicist. Since I don't have rapport with Hollywood I will leave anything further to TMZ and MTV.

Travis Barker and DJ AM blew my mind three times this summer and to contribute to a story of this magnitude is my honor and pleasure. I wish the families of Chris Baker, Charles Still, and the pilot and co-pilot the best and to know that they are in our prayers. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this heart-breaking and tragic story. Let's hope that Travis and Adam pull through without too many long-time effects. Again, thank you.

While I was on leave in Spring 2006, I was at LAX and saw Travis. None of my friends would go ask for a picture, so I did! He's a sweet guy, quiet, but super friendly, even during travel time.

I'm so so glad fully recovery is expected. It's all such sad news, they only deserve to get through this. They're in my thoughts, I hope at least I contributed a little something.
