In the winter of 1983, or so the story goes from a variety of people who said or said it didn’t happen, Chad Collins Charlestown headed to Bolivia in a private war plane with his band to play a benefit concert for a local militia on hiatus from a 12 day civil war.!!While none of this can be factually verified, some of the band members claim the concert did take place. Some of them claim it did not. Chad Collins Charlestown, personally, takes no position on the matter, and elects neither to confirm or deny his bandmates’ claims that the concert happened, or that it did not happen.!!Nevertheless the story goes that after meeting Motley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx in a hotel ice machine at the Belagio, Chad was allegedly invited to board a plane that night to meet one of the band’s foreign sponsors and friends. This of course was a tribute to how casually Chad handled his discovery of Mr. Sixx who actually was inside the ice machine at the time of their meeting. Chad apparently continued to dig ice out of the chest, and after realizing he might be interrupting something Nikki was trying to accomplish, he stopped and asked him if he’d rather he keep the ice in the machine.!!Back in the hotel room Sal Onetti and Cal Kingston were waiting for rocks to accompany their whiskey. Alarmed that their friend hadn’t returned from the ice machine for over half an hour, they ventured there only to find Chad standing one legged in the ice machine with the Motley Crüe bassist, palms held together in a sun salutation toward the glowing vending machine on their right.!!Concerned for his health and mental wellbeing, Cal carried the two down the hall away from the ice machine speaking about a hospital. Dragging his feet, Sixx anounced his private doctor in Stockholm would be the only one to look after the two of them, and that the expenses were prepaid yearly and extended into his inner circle. Cal carried them to the plane waiting outside and the two boarded via the cargo ramp.!!Unfamiliar with the military design of the “private plane”, neither Chad nor Cal mentioned this, or the crew’s intention of heading to Bolivia for seven days.!!What happens next, and what happened up to here is all factually unverifiable. And neither party will confirm or deny its truth.
