The Associated Press is reporting that Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and cocaine.

One month after Goldstein was found dead in his New York City apartment, a toxicology report showed that he consumed a lethal cocktail of cocaine, OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Benadryl and Levamisole.

Goldstein was reportedly taking anti-anxiety medication to help him cope with his fear of flying, which occurred after he and friend Travis Barker from Blink 182 escaped a plane crash last year that killed four people.

Tweeters weigh in on the report’s findings:

Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus announced on his blog Tuesday that the band will be rescheduling their upcoming shows in Cleveland and St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.

In the statement, Hoppus said, “After much thought and consideration, Blink-182 has rescheduled their next two shows in order for [bandmate] Travis Barker to mourn the loss of his dear friend Adam Goldstein. Blink-182 will now play St. Louis, MO on Sept 29 and Cleveland, OH on Sept 30. To accommodate the change, shows in Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA have also moved to October 6th and 7th, respectively.”

The Twittersphere already had a clue that the concerts were being postponed after guitarist Eddie Reyes, who’s band Taking Back Sunday opens for Blink-182, tweeted that he had returned home before the announcement had been made:

1.

The statement concluded by saying, "Travis, Mark and [bandmate] Tom would like to thank all their fans for their support during this difficult time.”

Travis Barker, drummer for Blink-182, took to his Twitter account to talk about relations with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler.  He specifically calls her out for her poor parenting:

1. 
   trvsbrkr Kids are not to be used as weapons. Deadbeat moms that sleep all day,seeking money, attention like 2 do so. Just hurts the kids in the end.
2. 
   trvsbrkr Giving birth 2 a child doesn’t make u a good mom. Taking care of them, loving them,waking up with them, spending time with them does.
3. 
   trvsbrkr @taximom00 I’ve been their “Mother” and “father” since they were born. Taking them 2 Robertson 2 shop and get photographed doesn’t count. ha
4. 
   trvsbrkr @PerezHilton Watch out, the devil will take your kids as well. She’ll lock them in a room while she hits the town with male porn stars in LA
5. 
   trvsbrkr My babies mama has decided 2 let me have my babies for Jimmy Kimmel tonight, very very happy man right now people. Thanks

Barker’s followers have come out mostly in support of him:

1. 
   MarieMaso @trvsbrkr I feel bad for your kids Having two parents that talk to each other like that.
2. 
   RisaRM @trvsbrkr I wish you two would get back together!!
3. 
   cinderallgood @trvsbrkr congrats man, it’s awesome seeing someone so unique and badass being so proud to be with his kids. Stay true
4. 
   deenahdeedoodah @trvsbrkr aww yay!! thats awesome trav im glad you are getting to see the kids <3 cant wait to see ya tonight.
5. 
   HotMamaRenee @trvsbrkr – Question for you….what made you the dad that you are now? Was your dad a great dad like yourself?
6. 
   to1b0y @trvsbrkr ur the best dad an inspiration to us all
