DJ AM was laid to rest in a private ceremony Wednesday (September 2) in Los Angeles, according to UsMagazine.com.
Guests, including [article id="1620546"]AM's girlfriend Hayley Wood[/article] and friend/ collaborator Travis Barker, former fiancee Nicole Richie and Good Charlotte's Joel and Benji Madden, gathered at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles at around 3 p.m. local time for the funeral service, according to the report. AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) was found by police in [article id="1619854"]his New York apartment[/article] on Friday, dead from an apparent drug overdose, although [article id="1619874"]initial autopsy results were inconclusive.[/article]
The service took place in the mortuary and moved outside at approximately 4 p.m., according to the report. Barker -- who had been on tour with Blink-182 but [article id="1620560"]postponed three shows[/article] in the wake of AM's death -- reportedly paid his respects and threw dirt on the coffin. He and Wood reportedly hugged at one point, and walked side by side with AM's family and friends.
AM will also be remembered by family and friends in [article id="1620571"]a private memorial service[/article] scheduled for Thursday at the Hollywood Palladium, the same venue where he performed with Jay-Z in October of last year, a month after he and Travis Barker [article id="1595303"]survived a fiery plane crash[/article] in South Carolina.
The Palladium memorial is being described as "a gathering to celebrate the life of our friend Adam Goldstein," and will reportedly pay tribute to his struggle with addiction, with a format that will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting.
