Blink-182 played an emotional tribute to DJ AM on Saturday night. After some tearful opening words during their concert in Hartfort, Connecticut, Mark Hoppus requested that everyone take a moment of silence for their late friend. The band then dedicated the song Down to DJ AM.

The DJ whose real name was Adam Goldstein was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday afternoon.

Though the official cause of death has not been determined yet, there have been reports that drug paraphernalia was found near his body. He was 36. Close to a year ago, DJ AM and Blink drummer Travis Barker were the only two survivors of a private plane crash.
