Jay-Z left the Spirit Awards to kick off his tour at the re-opening of the Hollywood Palladium last night. As expected, DJ AM was right there to help work those turntables for his second appearance since the plane crash — which he recently opened up about in an interview and said he “jumped through a fireball” to get out of the burning plane. While the celebrity attendees like Ellen Pompeo and Hayden Panettiere may have missed watching the debate last night, Jay-Z still took the opportunity to talk politics a bit on stage. Between his welcome home party and having lots of friends around to keep company, it looks like DJ AM is happy to be back at work after the tragedy.
