NBC News reported that Barker, who also
starred in MTV reality show "Meet the
Barkers", had performed Friday night at an
event alongside Perry Farrell, the former
Jane's Addiction singer, as well as Gavin
DeGraw and Goldstein.
'Terrible and tragic'
It was not clear whether Farrell and DeGraw
were also traveling with Barker and
Goldstein.
Federal officials confirmed that two crew
members and two passengers were killed in the
crash.
"It's absolutely terrible and tragic,"
Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.
Bergen said the Lear 60 was headed to Van
Nuys, California. She was unable to confirm
the names of those on board.
Barker and Goldstein perform together under
the name TRVSDJ-AM.
After Blink-182, Barker went on to form the
rock band (+44) — pronounced "plus
forty-four." He appeared in "Meet the
Barkers" with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler,
to whom he was married at the time. The show
documented the former couple's lavish wedding
and life.
Goldstein at one time was engaged to
celebrity Nicole Richie.
UPDATE
TMZ has learned Travis Barker has been burned
from the waist down, but he is expected to
survive the plane crash. DJ AM's face was
severely burned and is being tended to right
now.
