Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell and his wife Vicky lost more than $30,000 worth of valuables when their hotel room flooded.
The couple were staying at the posh Faena Hotel in Buenos Aires last week when, a pal of Cornell's said, "after performing in front of a sold-out 20,000-capacity arena, Chris returned to his room and was relaxing with Vicky when the walls started trembling, like in an earthquake. Then, Chris smelled something burning, and suddenly, the entire entrance of the hallway collapsed and gallons of freezing cold water entered the room. Within a matter of moments, Chris and his wife were up to their knees in water . . . They finally scrambled out but lost a lot of stuff."
The Faena Hotel was Buenos Aires' first "design hotel" and was created by Philippe Starck.
