Augusta - The medical director of the burn hospital where former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM are being treated says both men are expected to make full recoveries.
The musicians were critically injured in a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people late Friday.
Dr Fred Mullins said on Sunday morning that both men are being treated for second- and third-degree burns at a Georgia hospital.
Mullins says recovery from such burns can take as long as a year, but notes the men had no other injuries.
Mullins says Barker was burned on his torso and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was burned on his hands and part of his head. The doctor says both men are still in critical but stable condition.
