Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro had to be rescued from a lift after it fell 10 floors last week – but later shrugged off the experience.
He and his publicist were passengers in the New York elevator when it suffered a malfunction and dropped quickly, before its emergency braking system kicked in.
He had to wait for an hour to be set free by firefighters, and filled the time by tweeting a picture of himself with the caption: “This is what hell is like.” He later posed with the men who’d helped him out.
Navarro, who hosts reality TV show Ink Master, told TMZ: “The thing dropped and then stuck. Once you stop, you realise something scary happened.
“I should have been scared, but then it’s over – so fuck it.”
Jane’s Addiction recently announced a brief US tour to take place in July. They’ll also perform at this year’s Download festival on June 12.
