DJ Adam Goldstein also known as DJ AM was found dead yesterday in his New York apartment.

Sources have said the cause of death was an accidental drug overdose, statements by a New York law enforcement official have indicated that there was drug paraphernalia such as prescription pills found but no foul play was given.

Adam Goldstein found fame as a member of the rock band Crazy Town and also became a DJ doing private parties for clients such as Ben Stiller.

He also survived a plane crash along with Travis Barker last year.

His last twitter post was on the 25th August: "

New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems."

Tributes have begun to pour in:

"I'm stunned. Rest in peace Adam,"

singer-songwriter Josh Groban posted.

"I'm sorry to loved ones, so unexpected"

musician and video director Pete Wentz wrote.

Singer John Mayer wrote:

"We're supposed to lose our friends to time, at an age when we're ready to agree to the terms of having lived a long life. Not now."

Kelly Osbourne:

DJ Jazzy Jeff:

Words cannot express the hurt I'm feeling right now... I'm still waiting for this to be a terrible joke.

Crazy Town, eh? I would have thought having to listen to his own music night after night was punishment enough without the young death. Stupid drugs. When was the last time anyone saw a happy heroin addict? Mental taking that shit up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Funny, well not really, that there should be another one of those films being released at the moment.
