Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki to honor DJ AM at benefit concert for plane crash victims (tickets $20)

Add a Comment

October 8, 12:01 PM

by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner

DJ AM

DJ AM is on the road to recovery after being severely burned in a plane crash last month — and his friends are welocming him back in a big way. Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki and other celeb deejays will host and perform at a concert to benefit the memorial funds of the four who died in the crash.

The concert is set for October 14 at Avalon Hollywood. Organizers said today in a statement:

This a once in a lifetime event and we’re proud to be a part of it."

The tickets are just $20 and we're thinking this could be a great opportunity for celeb spotting. We'll keep an eye out for Mark's sister Samantha Ronson with Lindsay Lohan, among others.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the memorial funds of pilot Sarah Lemmon, co-pilot James Bland, security guard Charles Still and Travis Barker's assistant Chris Baker.

We're guessing this gig will sell out very quickly.

Get tickets online at Wantickets.com (this link will take you directly to the Welcome Home DJ AM event page).
