The medical director of Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA announced during a press conference today that he expects Travis Barker and DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein) to make a full recovery from their injuries. Dr. Fred Mullins said the pair received second and third degree burns in a plane crash that killed the other four passengers.

Barker has burns on his torso and lower body and Goldstein has burns on his arm and part of his head, Mullins said. (Mullins would not say the percentage of their bodies that were burned or whether they were conscious. He also did not go into detail about the type of treatment they are currently receiving.)

He said the two did not sustain any other injuries from the crash.

“I think these patients are going to make a full recovery,” Mullins said.

He added, “Anybody who can survive a plane crash is very lucky.”

The families wish to thank fans from all over the world for their prayers and concern. Deepest sympathy is expressed to the loved ones of those who perished in the crash. As the two recuperate and mourn this loss, privacy for them, their families and friends is requested at this time.”

The doctor said both men remain in critical but stable condition, and he thinks they should be able to return to performing after they have healed from their burns in a year.
