DJ AM — who, along with Travis Barker, was one of the only survivors of a plane crash last month — is on the mend after sustaining second- and third-degree burns to his face and left arm. The DJ seems to be recuperating relatively quickly, as he’s been tapped to perform with Jay-Z in Hollywood Wednesday night. According to his publicist, Jenni Weinman, AM will serve as the rapper’s DJ during his set, which will mark the reopening of the Palladium Theater. While Weinman couldn’t provide a complete list of Jay’s tour dates, she did say AM would be accompanying the rapper on the road to act as his DJ for the entire tour. Jay-Z has only two other dates scheduled on his calendar: October 16 in Houston and October 25 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Wednesday’s show with Jay-Z will be the DJ’s first since the crash, which claimed the lives of four people: the plane’s two pilots; Barker’s assistant, Chris “Lil Chris” Baker; and Barker’s bodyguard, Charles “Che” Still. Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki, Mix Master Mike and other DJs are hosting a party for DJ AM Tuesday night (October 14), the proceeds of which will benefit the families of the accident’s victims.
