Former blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, were listed in critical condition after a Friday night plane crash that killed four others onboard, CNN reports.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, two other passengers and two crew members were killed when the private jet crashed on takeoff in Columbia, South Carolina. Barker and Goldstein were admitted to the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday, where they are being treated for extensive burns.
CNN reports the deceased were identified by Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif.; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles. A report on MTV.com identified Baker as Barker's assistant, and noted he had appeared on the network's reality show Meet the Barkers. The report from MTV and others say Still worked in a security capacity for Barker.
According to an Associated Press report, Barker and Goldstein played a free concert together as TRVSDJ-AM in Columbia on Friday night; other performers included Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. According to CNN, representatives for Farrell and DeGraw told the AP Saturday that the two performers were not aboard the plane.
