Music stars at burn center in Augusta expected to make full recovery

Doctors treating music stars Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein, also known as DJ AM, and their families say they expect the two to make a full recovery.

The two were critically injured in a fiery plane crash at an airport near Columbia, South Carolina, after performing in a concert there on Friday. Four others -- the pilots and two of the men's assistants -- died in the crash.

The men suffered second and third degree burns and are both in critical but stable condition at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta. Barker was burned on his torso and lower body and Goldstein suffered burns on his arm and a portion of his scalp, according to a release from the burn center and from the stars' families. They did not sustain injuries from any other crash-related complications.

Singers Perry Farrell, formerly of Jane's Addiction, and Gavin deGraw also performed in the concert, but were not on the plane.
