DJ AM is one hell of a lucky guy. Though he was reported to have severe facial burns after escaping a plane crash two weeks ago, his representative says he’s doing really well – and is getting better every day. He hasn’t said a thing directly to the press, and this is the first official comment we’ve really had. His rep seems to think it’s a non-story, which I find kind of surprising. But the man must really want his privacy, and that I certainly understand.

Don’t let the bandages fool you—DJ AM is on the road to recovery.

The music man, real name Adam Goldstein, was photographed Thursday with new bandages on his body—prompting some concern he may have had a recent infection or setback since earlier this week, when he appeared bandageless at Chris Baker’s memorial service.

But AM’s rep Jenni Weinman tells E! News: “There is no story here. He’s home resting and healing.”

After all, nothing says speedy recovery like being well enough to take out the trash.

E’s last little quip there is because they used a recent photograph of Goldstein taking out the trash. I’ve got to say, as mundane and boring as the picture is, it does show that AM must really be okay if he’s out and about and doing things like that.

I wonder if the initial reports were exaggerated or if AM made an exceptionally good recovery. Considering it seemed like his life was in danger, I’m pretty surprised he’s up and about. Either way, it’s a miracle he lived and is getting better so quickly.
