PASADENA, Calif. – For a club deejay, it was unusually early, about 10 a.m. But Adam Goldstein, a.k.a. DJ AM, was bright-eyed and undeniably energized on a late morning last month at a summer session of the Television Critics Association.
On Friday, Goldstein was found dead in his apartment at age 36. A crack pipe and prescription pills were found in the Manhattan apartment, said a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
In his July interview with The Associated Press, it was evident that DJ AM's new MTV show "Gone Too Far," was a passion project. He called it a teen "Intervention," referring to A&E's reality show about people who confront their addictions.
A hero among many teen music fans and himself a long-recovering addict, Goldstein was an appropriate host for the show, set to debut October 5. MTV didn't have an immediate comment on whether Goldstein's show would air, but said in a statement that it "was honored to support him as he helped young people battle their own addictions."
The following is part of Goldstein's interview with the AP at the annual promotional blitz, where networks tout their upcoming shows for the media.
