Michael Stipe Nearly Died
. He told the New York Post, "I nearly died at 14. I was a Boy Scout lost on top of a mountain. It was very cold, wet and horrific. My father thought I was dead. First stage of hypothermia is uncontrollable shivers. Then, hallucinations. Then you fall asleep � then you're gone. I had the first two stages." Stipe believes that the harrowing incident scarred him for life and contributed to his fear of the outdoors. "When I got home I went inside and almost never came out," he said. "I've since developed a fear of the outdoors." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase R.E.M. CDs |
