DJ Am's 'Gone Too Far' premieres tonight on MTV: Watch the trailer and decide if you will tune in

The show that many people believe will be DJ Am's lasting legacy premieres tonight on MTV. 'Gone Too Far' is a special series that features the late DJ AM (also known as Davind Goldstein) helping eight drug addicts across the country get their lives back.

DJ AM tragically died of an accidental drug overdose on August 25. During his adult life, he had battled drug addiction. He survived a plane crash in September of 2008 that took the lives of four of his friends, which led to DJ AM experiencing Survivor's Guilt as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He began using drugs again after the plane crash, starting with painkillers and then moving on to stronger drugs until it ultimately killed him.

'Gone Too Far' is not for the faint at heart. It is dark, it is filled with a real look at how drug addicts think and act. There is graphic drug use in the show ranging from shooting heroin to smoking a crack pipe. The addicts are high. Viewers will see the destruction that comes along with drug addiction as families plead with their loved ones to seek help.

There are those that have questioned whether it is appropriate that 'Gone Too Far' be aired, given the fact that DJ AM overdosed on drugs. Should MTV really be hyping a show about an addict helping other addicts, primarily since this role model died from his addiction? MTV got the go ahead from none other than DJ AM's mother, who felt strongly that her son would want the show to air. After all, is there a better lesson for addicts than to watch someone lose their life to drugs? MTV is not being disrespectful in airing 'Gone Too Far' - they are preserving DJ AM's memory.
