RIP Chris Cornell

Only 52, died unexpectedly after a show in Detroit last night. Such a great vocalist.

I've said it a hundred times that Cornell was the last, great, pure, rock and roll singer.

One of my all-time favorite bands.

This one stings.

Damn it. Loved his work. Soundgarden was just in Indy last week, and now I really regret not ever getting to see them in concert.

The best part of that was when Chris ripped up a picture of the pope at the end of the song.

I never got to see Chris Cornell in concert, but Soundgarden was pretty much the sound track to the heyday of my youth. God damn, he went far to early.

     Back in 2012 I answered Chris Cornell to this thread asking which rock star I would want to emulate. I was able to see him with Soundgarden 5x's, Audioslave twice, and 3x's solo. Every time I was blown away by that beautiful voice.
RIP Chris.

Henry Rollins once said that Chris Cornell's voice could peel the pain off a wall

I heard that Eddie Vedder once invited someone onstage to sing "Hunger Strike" with him, and the kid begged NOT to sing Cornell's part, because he couldn't get up there

Family said they were going to work closely with the Medical Examiner to find out. Lot of speculation that it was suicide. Just sad.

First reports I've seen are claiming suicide.

The guy sure could belt it out live. The soundtrack of my youth is nearing extinction.

Got in the car to go swim this morning (I know, TTSTTTF!) and this song was playing on a local station. Recognised Cornell's voice and thought it was cool, never heard it before. Then it ended and the DJ said he'd been found dead in his room overnight. Absolutely shocked.

Maybe it is time to open a national dialog on drugs and depression. So sad that a successful talented man with a beautiful wife and kids would get to the point where suicide is the preferred option.

Reportedly closed last night's show in Detroit with a cover of Led Zep's "In My Time of Dying", sad.

I read a story that he had something around his neck which led people to suspect suicide.

Well we can start with this: most suicide is caused by a lack of impulse control. Drugs exacerbate it. Depression in its worst state causes inaction (catatonia) not suicide. People blame it on depression because it is nicer than saying it was caused by selfishness, thoughtlessness and immaturity. Most of the people who will read this have contemplated suicide at one time or another. Cornell actually doing it doesn't mean that he had a level of depression that you or I never had.

The narrative that his soul was in such pain that he could no longer envision a life worth living is wrong.
