3. What a bunch of wussies. The guy wasn't even in their band.
Too much. Look at Dave Matthews band they lost a founding member and they still played. Glad I didn't buy tickets!!!

4. I don't care about Blink 182 and even less about DJ AM. Kie in so young age is sad, but he is meaningless for the majority of the people.
Rest in peace, DJ. TMZ, move on!!!!!
