Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker has been left critically injured after a Learjet crashed while departing from a South Carolina airport.
4 people were killed, while two people - including Barker and DJ AM, a famed Hollywood DJ - were injured.
Barker was transported to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, where he was listed in critical condition.
Barker had performed Friday night at an event alongside Perry Farrell, the former Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin DeGraw and DJ AM. It was not immediately clear whether any of those performers, aside DJ AM were traveling with Barker.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday from Columbia when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. She said the plane went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
Bergen said the Lear 60 was headed to Van Nuys, California. She was unable to confirm the names of who was on board the plane.
Developing...
And you come on here and mock them and their politics?
And you have the nerve to point fingers and speak about low life?
lol...you sound like my wife dear
she keeps up too
Perez Hilton on her favorites....or Page Six
Never much cared for this fellow or his music although his wife was very pretty but I hope he recovers.....maybe he will prevail from it.
He has kids who depend on him too.
I’ve lost several friends over the years to plane crashes and there but by God’s grace woulda gone I in my day.
Travis Barker burned from the waist down. DJ AM’s face burned.
Perez Hilton is horrible. Have her start going to DListed.com. She will never go back. Michael K is ridiculously funny...but he still maintains respect when it’s needed.
Is he the guy who used to be married to Miss USA or something?
Either way, prayers for those killed and for the recovery of survivors.
It attempted to fly to Tulsa a week ago but turned back to NY; then did another local flight two days ago. Gotta wonder if it had a recent mechanical and had been returned to service for this flight. Not sure it's even the right plane...
LOL — TMZ online
I do Perez myself...and Michael K is so over the top (love him!) but might I suggest HollywoodGrind also. There have been a couple of times that I have just been shocked by the pro-troop, pro-America commentary on HG...(thats why I give HG the ‘hits’ most of the time).
Harvey Levin...nasty fella...yep, she does that one too
I'm sure if planes had never been invented, 30 celebrities a year would be dying in car crashes. Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiight.
(Can you tell I'm not buying it? Never have.)
Never heard of him, but I hope the tattooed dude and anyone else in that plane recovers fully and without suffering.
I didn't mock him. I presented the real thing and only because another poster was here touting his good virtues ... Just presenting a balanced picture of him so we don't go around thinking a punk foul-mouth Obama supporting gansta rapster is someone we should look up to.
Posting the truth about this foul-mouth gansta rapster who helped put out the "Vote Obama" video is trolling?
And you have the nerve to stand up for gansta rapsters whose lyrics I can't even post here because they are too vile.
I would bet he doesn't even own that ONE.
Picked off? Show me another. If fact, show me he even owns that one.
Some of it was, but it wasn't because of Barker's drumming.
