THE DAY ALICIA KEYS PULLED A DAVE CHAPPELLE!
Who knew?
Alicia Keys kinda had a breakdown according to the new issue of Blender — the first under EIC Joe Levy.
Her mom Terri Augello reveals when she knew her daughter was in trouble.
“As her mom, I’d like to say I knew everything that was going on with her,” Augello says. “But there came a time where she couldn’t tell the difference between talking to reporters and talking to her mother. It hurt me to see.”
According to Blender, “In a maneuver reminiscent of Dave Chappelle, Keys booked a flight to Egypt. She didn’t tell her label she was going AWOL, just bought a ticket, and 48 hours later she was in a first-class cabin, headed to Cairo by herself. She floated down the Nile in a boat, toured ancient temples, swam in the Red Sea and yep, climbed to the top of a pyramid and started singing.”
Keys says, “The strength of a place like that…the stone, what it took to build, the time - it’s infectious.”
When she came back friends saw a big difference and she was much more at “ease.”
Doesn’t every one need a vacation?
