Andre 3000 Explains How He Almost Died

by Daryl Nelson

Whenever Andre 3000 does an interview to promote something new these days, it isn't a song or album since he stopped releasing music. He explained why that was the case during an interview with Rick Rubin last year.

The Outkast member is currently promoting his book One Last Song: Conversations on Life, Death, and Music and during an interview he talked about almost dying in a car crash.

"When I was younger, me and my friend were in a car accident," 3 Stacks explained. "We were riding with my friend’s mom, but we were so young, we didn’t know what happened until we woke up in the hospital. I didn’t know, I was a kid."

"We were on this street in Atlanta and it was a non-busy street and fortunately this guy who had money passed by, and he had one of the first working cell phones," he added. "It was like a suitcase and he was able to call an ambulance. If we didn’t have that cell phone, we would have been out there for a minute and might have died.”

On another note, have you given up on Andre or Outkast releasing new music or do you still have hope?
