Chris Cornell dead aged 52

[Batman]

Suspected suicide, I'm fucking gutted by this news, just this morning I listened to audioslaves first album and then switched to down on the upside by soundgarden.

I remember going to see him live a few years ago on stage for 2 and a half hours he was and played over 30 songs, one of the best gigs I've ever been to

Great voice one of the best.

I seem to be the kiss of death to musicians? David Bowie, Keith Emerson, Lou Reed, I had listened to each of them just before I found out they died.

That is sad news, still 52 for a rock star is a good run, it's young no doubt but better than 27 of course. Cornell had some great pipes on him, he could fucking belt it. It is a shame suicide or otherwise, I hope he finds peace in the next life.


If you're that bad of lucky may I suggest that you take a listen to this chap Justin Beiber?

Everyone who is aware of my musicians curse has said that.

I did listening to him before to see if it would work but I started bleeding from the side holes before the curse could take effect

I liked a few Audioslave tunes - Be Yourself is a tune
The Police are reportedly already treating his death as suicide, he' had a drink and drug problem for years so that could be the cause of death.

Cobain, Staley, Cornell, Weiland........I guess Eddie Vedder is now the Betty White of the Grunge era

He's been clean for years now, didn't drink at all when on tour apparently

This report claims he was found in his hotel bathroom at the MGM Grand in Detroit dead with something tied around his neck.

Sources tell Local 4 Cornell's wife called a family friend and asked him to check on the singer. That friend forced open the hotel room door where Cornell was found dead in the bathroom with something around his neck.

Could have been anything. He could have started to drink and drug because he was depressed and even if he kicked the substance abuse maybe he couldn't kick the depression, who knows. All I know is it's a sad way to go out.

Soundgarden are one of my all-time favourite bands. Getting on for 25 years since I first saw them live, and saw them several times in all sorts of venues back in the day.

In recent years I always watched Cornell doing the new live stuff that popped up on youtube. Shame

Word is that he hanged himself.....that sucks.

Tremendous talent and tragedy. One of the best vocalists ever on a mic regardless of genre. Had Audioslaves debut album on a loop last month with Like A Stone and I am the Highway.

Well I for one am having a small drink tonight and have just been listening to Chris Cornell all night so far, I don't have work tomorrow (seems quite apt that I am going to a funeral)

anyways here is a few songs for the fans to revisit and the newbies to educate themselves
