Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and John Mayer were among mourners at a memorial service for DJ AM Thursday.

The stars — along with Lindsay’s girlfriend Samantha Ronson, socialite Nicky Hilton and actor Eric Dane — gathered with family and fans at the Hollywood Palladium to pay their respects to the musician, real name Adam Goldstein, following his shock death last week.

“The crowd was very hip and eclectic, there were people dressed in smart black suits and people dressed in jeans and T-shirts,” an onlooker said. “It was packed though, you could tell how well loved he was. It was a very somber and sad crowd.”

During the two-and-a-half hour long service — which was structured like an Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps meeting — his girlfriend, model Haley Wood addressed the 3,500 mourners.

“He was my soulmate and now he is my soul,” she said. “He is my amazing grace.”

The memorial venue opened up three entrances, one for family and VIPs and one for friends and one for fans.

The service followed a private burial for Adam at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary on Wednesday.

Although the cause of DJ AM’s death remains unclear, it has been reported he was found with undigested painkillers in his stomach and mouth.

A crack pipe and some of the illegal drug were also discovered near his body, with his representative admitting he was due to go to rehab to battle his addiction.

The musician died with a $1 million estate and no will.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Richie’s reaction to the celebrity spinner’s death caused a huge row between her and current fiance Joel Madden.

According to the National Enquirer, Nicole’s emotional reaction after Adam died made Joel wonder if Nicole had been hiding deep feelings for the tragic star.

“It ended up in a big fight, with Joel demanding, ‘Were you still in love with him?’” a source told the tabloid.

“Nicole was angry that Joel would even ask that — during her time of grief — AND when she was so close to giving birth!

“She broke down, cried uncontrollably and thought that she was having contractions,” said the source. “She was devastated to think that Adam’s life came to such a terrible end after his years struggling to stay sober.

“She was crushed.”
