As we mentioned earlier, and you've likely seen or heard about online and other news outlets, Travis Barker and DJ AM were injured in a plane crash. A security guard and assistant for Barker were killed in the accident; Barkers' Famous Stars and Straps label has issued the following: "Lil Chris Baker and Charles 'Che' Still fell victim to a fatal plane crash in South Carolina on Saturday, September 20th, 2008. With heavy hearts we offer our deepest condolences to their family and friends....The 'Chris Baker Memorial Fund' and the 'Charles Still Memorial Fund' have been established for the benefit of Chris and Charles families. Donations may be sent to the respective funds at the following address: Memorial Fund, 1840 South Milliken, Ontario, CA 91761" [Racked Inbox]
