Ariana Grande Nearly Crushed to Death in Stage Accident
Singer Ariana Grande is lucky to be alive!
The star told “Chatty Man's” Alan Carr that she was nearly crushed to death while performing last year.
Grande recounted the harrowing tale, explaining, "Opening night of my Honeymoon tour, I almost died. For real — I'm not exaggerating. I usually exaggerate, but I'm not."
She continued, "You know how they have those toaster things where people come up from the stage and you pop up? Something happened with mine and I was singing the beginning of 'Love Me Harder' and I was going up on the thing, and, long story short, the thing I was standing on had this wooden plank and it snapped!"
Ariana narrowly escaped with a little help from her guitar guy. "The thing was still going up, so I was being pushed against the stage, and it was some Indiana Jones sh*t, and it was really scary. I had to Superman myself out of the thing, and my guitar guy helped me get out, and then I went onstage a different way. It was really scary."
Co-host Jimmy Carr jumped in, saying, "It sounds like you were in the trash compacter in 'Star Wars'! Grande replied, "Yes, yes! I was Carrie Fisher in the trash compactor."
Ariana also talked about the scary ordeal last year. Watch!
