The band said on their website that they would not perform due to "the unfortunate and untimely passing of our dear friend Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein".

DJ Goldstein, 36, was found dead in his New York City apartment. The cause of death has not been released pending² the results of toxicology（毒物学） tests.

Their tour is due to resume³ on Wednesday night in Cleveland, Ohio.

Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were the only survivors⁴ of a plane crash in September last year.

They were both admitted to hospital where they were treated for burns. Four other people on the private plane were killed.

Barker and Goldstein, who performed together under the name TRVSDJ-AM, had been playing in Columbia, South Carolina before boarding the plane.

Goldstein had openly talked about previous drug addictions⁵ - MTV was due to debut⁶ his reality show Gone Too Far in October, in which he helped drug users battle their addictions.

It is not yet known if the show will still go on air.

The DJ's spokeswoman, Jenni Weinman, said the circumstances surrounding his death were unclear. She asked for privacy⁷ for his family.

Goldstein was a well-known club DJ who also played at Hollywood parties and festivals.

He was also famous for relationships with reality TV personality Nicole Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and actress and singer Mandy Moore.
