DJ AM gets back to work

Adam Goldstein, DJ AM, has performed his first DJ set since surviving a plane crash, scratching alongside Jay-Z at the Hollywood Palladium, and resumes his Las Vegas residency next week.

Adam Goldstein has performed his first DJ set since surviving that much reported plane crash last month. And it was no low-key event either, the DJ performed with Jay-Z at the Hollywood Palladium, scratching and rapping along with the rapper.

Following a performance of 'Show Me What You Got', Jay-Z told the crowd to "Make some noise for DJ AM tonight", before also paying tribute to Goldstein's fellow survivor Travis Barker and the four people who died in the crash.

Goldstein has also given his first interview since the crash to People, in which he describes himself as "the luckiest man alive". He said of his escape from the Learjet: "[There was] fire everywhere. I tried to cover my face as I jumped through a fireball. As soon as I hit the ground, I remembered, 'Stop, drop and roll.' So I started rolling".

He added: "My emotions go back and forth. I can't believe I made it. I'm just grateful."

Goldstein is scheduled to resume his residency at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub in Las Vegas next Tuesday.
