Barker, who revealed to The Red Bulletin in July that he had been drug-free for several months, also shared that AM attempted to get him clean before his untimely passing.

“Wish AM was still here for many reasons. He tried for years to get me sober & I was a dumpster & couldn't see thru the fog. #finallydrugfree.”

“Bump every mix-tape he made today, turn that s**t up loud & enjoy. He was 1 of a kind. #ripdjam #awwwwyeah,” he added.
