RIP Chris Cornell
Posted by: dayjay on 18 May 2017
Sad to hear that Chris Cornell, of Soundgarden and other groups, has passed away at the age of 52.
Terrible news, 52 is so young.
RIP
Early US reporting, unverified, he was found in Hotel room after Concert in Detroit, early signs it is perhaps unfortunately suicide, real shame if true and 52 too young.

A sad thing in any event, at 52, but if it is indeed suicide then even sadder. He was a great singer in some super bands and 52 is too young
Great voice. Great music - RIP.
Was very sad to hear about Chris's passing today - RIP & keep on rocking!
So sad. Seems its now confirmed that he killed himself.
'In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn..
All I want for you to do is take my body home..'
Very shocked and saddened
seen him with Soundgarden loads of times, although I slightly preferred Audioslave
a few years ago at Donnington a group of people well up the front had a banner which read "We've come all the way from Seattle just to see Soundgarden "

Another tough day when the musical heroes of my youth are departing this plane of reality.... there have been too many days like this recently!
All the singers from Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and now Soundgarden are no more....only Eddie Veder from Pearl Jam is left from the Seattle grunge scene.
I was stunned yesterday (still am...). Grunge was part of my youth, still represents a significant part of the music I play with my band.
Creative daemons claimed yet another life - much too early, much too early...
The Great Gig In The Sky just got better....

very much with you there, it was Soundgarden by having that crossover between metal and grunge that re-kindled my interest in the early 90's
of course we all knew Nirvana and Alice
it was only after Soundgarden that I started delving deeper and found the likes of The Melvins and Mudhoney and so I kept on looking and ended up back to 1960 with The Sonics - arguably the start of Grunge
if anyone wants to argue check out
The Witch by The Sonics 1960
