If you just count his tattoos, sculpted beard and immaculate fashion sense, guitarist Dave Navarro is pretty unique on the surface. Of course, he's no slouch musically, as one of alternative rock's first true guitar heroes. Navarro's eclectic blend of influences and playing styles helped pave the way for the genre bending guitarists of the 1990s, and many of us have enjoyed getting our faces rocked off by his work in high profile bands like Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their oodles of cash help them live the lives we all dream of being handsomely compensated for doing the thing they love and then getting to hang out with their truest, closest friends and just relax in whatever way they choose, no expense spared. You know the quaint life of a rock star, While he has certainly done his share of partying, Dave Navarro's life has been an avalanche of disaster and unfortunate events that would probably have broken other people long before. this is tragic story dave navarro. Perhaps the most awful tragedy of Dave Navarro's life came when he was just 15 years old. As NME recounts, Navarro's mother Constance Colleen Hopkins was murdered in March 1983 when her ex boyfriend John Riccardi shot her and another woman in West Los Angeles. The murderer spent almost a decade on the loose and was only captured because of a viewer tip after the case was featured on America's Most Wanted in 1991. Riccardi was initially sentenced to death, but the verdict was later set aside because of issues with the jury selection process, Riccardi was re-sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. What's worse, young Navarro was actually supposed to stay with his mother the night of the murders. In 2004 he told America's Most Wanted that his decision, which he attributed to divine intervention, to stay at his dad's house that night probably saved his life. Less divine, is the fact that he still has to fight with the media over the incident. For example in 2018 Geraldo Rivera's Murder in the Family ran an episode about the case, wrongfully claiming that Navarro had found the body and started using drugs soon afterward. Dave Navarro is not one to shy away from talking about his mental health struggles, particularly because doing so can help others in the same situation. Although the memories are dark and it certainly can't be easy to talk about, he really does know the subject matter sadly. Billboard notes the musician has been to the blackest pits of the human mind, In 2018 the suicides of Anthony Bourdain and designer Kate Spade prompted Navarro to write an Instagram post about his own disturbingly close call with suicide. At one point things were so bad that he wrote a suicide note, stockpiled pills and planned out how to distribute his belongings to his family. However he made one last effort to reach out to his loved ones, which was enough to stay his hand and get professional help. Fortunately he was able to pull back from that dark place.
