Celebs remember DJ AM at the Hollywood Palladium

Friends, family and fans remembered DJ AM Thursday at a memorial service at the Hollywood Palladium. Ex girlfriend Hayley Wood, former fiancée Nicole Richie and friends John Mayer, Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart were all in attendance.

Hundreds of invited guests attended the Palladium memorial. In October, Adam Goldstein made his return to the turntables there after surviving a plane crash in September 2008.

"He was my soulmate and now he is my soul," Wood said at the 2 1/2-hour memorial. "He is my amazing grace."

Goldstein was found dead in his NYC apartment on Aug. 28. He was 36.

14 Facts about DJ AM

Deejay Born

Adam Goldstein was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 30, 1973.

Troubled Childhood

Adam was raised by his mother Andrea and his father, “who seemed to hate me,” he told Glamour in January 2008. “The verbal abuse he subjected me to was unbelievably cruel. I would find out later that there was a good reason my father was so tortured — he was secretly gay and addicted to drugs.”

Addiction

DJ AM first experimented with drugs at 12, and his first visit to rehab came when he was 17. He would struggle to kick his addiction until age 24, when he became sober with the help of friends and family.

At the Turntable

Adam — known as DJ AM — began deejaying at age 20.

Spinning for Stars

He has played private events for celebrities like Jim Carrey, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Stiller, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Kate Hudson.

Crazy Town

Goldstein was a member of the rock band Crazy Town, known for their hit “Butterfly.”

Hollywood Sweethearts

Adam has dated Hollywood starlets Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore.

Low Point

In 1997, when Goldstein was 24, he attempted suicide while high on cocaine. He put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, but the handgun jammed.

Slimmed Down

Goldstein underwent gastric bypass surgery when he was 30 and dropped 115 lbs.

TRV$DJ-AM

Adam collaborated with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker under the title TRVSDJ-AM. The two became close after collaborating and surviving a plane crash together.

Learjet Tragedy

On September 19, 2008, Adam and colleague Travis Barker were seriously injured when a Learjet he was traveling in crashed on takeoff in West Columbia, South Carolina. The musicians were the only survivors of the crash, which killed four.

Burned

Goldstein suffered from second and third-degree burns as a result of the Learjet crash.

Recent Split

Goldstein most recently dated model Hayley Wood, but the two reportedly broke up a few weeks before his death.

Kicking Drugs

Shortly before his death, Adam wrapped the MTV reality show “Gone Too Far,” on which he helped other addicts find a way to end their dependence.

nicole richie not rushing to wed

Nicole Richie is pregnant with her second child by beau Joel Madden, but confesses that the lovebirds aren't in any rush to get married.

The socialite dished about her relationship with the Good Charlotte rocker on "Larry King Live," saying that while she and Joel want to tie the knot, they don't feel the need to do so just because they're having a second child. "I think for both of us, we are going to do it because we want to, not because that's what you do," Nicole said.

Richie was joined by her father Lionel Richie on the program, where the singer gushed about Nicole's transformation from party girl to Hollywood mama. "I'm so proud of her right now -- there is such a pride that she has turned this corner. She is an amazing mother. I want the world to know where she is."

Nicole gave birth to daughter Harlow in January 2008.
