DAVE NAVARRO Recalls Near-Death Experience

August 21, 2006

In a recent interview with FHM (For Him Magazine),former JANE'S ADDICTION/RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and current THE PANIC CHANNEL guitarist Dave Navarro spoke about his near-death experience when he was 23 years old.

"When I was 15, I had an intense premonition that my mom was going to die," Dave told the magazine. "The closest I've come to dying is from drug overdoses. I didn't see a tunnel of light or people who have died before me — I sensed it was time for me to come back. I was in a squatter's flat in London in 1990. We shot up a bunch of dope, and I was too drunk to feel it, so I took another hit and went completely out. The squatters put me in a bathtub full of ice cubes to revive me and apparently I turned blue. They put me out on the street and called an ambulance and I was revived. The squatters scattered because they didn't want a dead body on their hands."
