DJ AM, who knew addiction all to well as a recovering addict, had been tapped to host Gone Too Far, a raw MTV reality series set to premiere Monday, October 5. Theshow will offer tough-love interventions to young people battling chemical addiction. With the help of experts, DJ AM accompanies addicts on the path to recovery.

On Tuesday, DJ AM posted a message on his Twitter page, announcing that the series had just completed shooting.

“Just wrapped filming GTF in CT. Back to Dusk in AC to DJ tonight,” he wrote on August 25.

There’s been no word on what will happen to the series following news of Adam’s death.

In a candid interview with Glamour Magazine in January 2008, DJ AM opened up about his own dependency on drugs, blaming his years of addiction on an alleged abusive past at the hands of his father.

“I was probably destined to be a drug addict. I grew up in Philadelphia with a father who seemed to hate me: The verbal abuse he subjected me to was unbelievably cruel,” he told the magazine.
