Jackass star Steve-O looks dejected as he flies out of Perth without his tour buddy Bam Margera after saying he was bracing for his best friend’s death from drug and alcohol addiction
Jackass star Steve-O flew out of Perth on Tuesday after the first show of his The Bucket List Australian tour.
The 48-year-old looked dejected as he walked through the airport without his podium mate Bam Margera.
He casually dressed for the flight in a red T-shirt, black pants and a pair of comfortable white sneakers.
Steve-O kept a low profile in dark sunglasses and carried a skateboard in his hand when he arrived at the airport.
It comes after Steve-O recently said he was bracing for Margera’s death from drug and alcohol problems.

Margera opened for the stuntman’s nine shows in the US before Steve-O accused his best friend of slipping back into old habits after posting what he deemed “mean” on social media.
Under the post, Steve-O said Margera was “dying,” but deleted it two minutes later.
It read, “Bam, last night you had your five-year-old son with you on stage at my show, and you were blessed with the chance to spend another day or two with him – and as soon as you left my show, you stayed you were up all night and charged enough to think it was a good idea to post more of this kind of mean nonsense. I hope you understand how bad that is.
“You say you want to have a good relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee that the exact opposite will happen.
“I’ve taken you on tour in the hope that I could show you what’s possible for you if you can choose recovery.
“I’ve tried everything I could, but I can’t force you to be honest and do the repair work.

“I wish you knew how much I hate to brace myself for the news of your death, but you make it clear I have no other choice. You’re dying brother, and it sucks I can’t do anything to save you.’
Speaking on his Steve-O’s Wild Ride podcast on Feb. 25, he said he regretted making that comment public.
“The Bam situation… I posted this comment on Bam’s Instagram because I had him on tour with me for 10 days, we did nine shows with me and he was pretty good,” he said.
“The whole time he was telling me to get in touch with Nicky, his wife, and see if I could spend the day with Phoenix. [his son] because it’s in Santa Rosa, California, close to his wife and his son.
So the tour was a big trip for his son and on the last day he reunited with his son and we spent the day together, it was a great day and we did our last show that night.
“It was determined after the show that he was fine and Niki said he could spend another day or two with his son.

“Come four, five, six in the morning and he posted hateful things.
“If he posts hateful things, it’s a terrible sign and he admitted it was because he was drunk.
“Like dude, come on man, I was so bummed, I was as disappointed as I was surprised and that’s the nature of the disease.
“His hateful post was up for 22 hours so I wrote that comment saying you die, you die man..
“It sucks because I want to save you, but I can’t, I can’t fix you, I can’t do that work for you.”
