The Faena Hotel Gets Flooded
The "ball-grabbing" (in the words of Matt Chesterton) Faena Hotel + Universe experienced a little turmoil in the cosmos over the weekend.
Page Six reports that rocker Chris Cornell, formerly of Audioslave, and his wife were staying at the upscale hotel when their hotel room was flooded. What?? How does a hotel room far away from a beach get flooded? Here's how:
A pal of Cornell's said, "after performing in front of a sold-out 20,000-capacity arena*, Chris returned to his room and was relaxing with Vicky when the walls started trembling, like in an earthquake. Then, Chris smelled something burning, and suddenly, the entire entrance of the hallway collapsed and gallons of freezing cold water entered the room. Within a matter of moments, Chris and his wife were up to their knees in water . . . They finally scrambled out but lost a lot of stuff."
Yikes! A rep for Cornell said the couple lost about $30,000 worth in valuables. Hopefully, the Faena will be able to recuperate that for them. Still no word on exactly why this place flooded.
* Chris' pal sure knows about how to promote his sold-out 20,000-capacity arena performance.
