AFJF Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/18/entertainment/chris-cornell-dead/index.html (CNN)Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, died Wednesday night, his representative told CNN. Cornell, 52, was in Detroit performing with Soundgarden, which had embarked on a US tour in April. Brian Bumbery, his representative, called Cornell's passing "sudden and unexpected" in a statement to CNN. "His wife Vicky and family were shocked to learn of his sudden and unexpected passing, and they will be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause," the statement read. "They would like to thank his fans for their continuous love and loyalty and ask that their privacy be respected at this time."

The Troll Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Of all the musician deaths, I'm taking this one the hardest. This is just utterly unbelievable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I saw him live just a few years ago when they went on tour with NIN. He still sounded fantastic. Some of the best pipes in the history of rock. What a blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 A buddy just messaged me to say he heard that they suspect suicide. First signer I ever saw live when Soundagrden opened up for GNR at MSG when I was a kid and then saw him a few years ago with Audioslave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombdirt Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Wow. Never really was too big of a Soundgarden fan after Badmotorfinger, but this one hurts. The guy could wail. One of the most powerful voices of his era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Bill Burr put it perfectly. There is literally not one thing he was ever involved in that hasn't held up over time. Soundgarden, Audioslave, his solo stuff...etc. On 5/18/2017 at 10:21 AM, chirorob said: Best part of Man of Steel, the part where my son found out who he was I know I'm in a minority when it comes to MoS, but I absolutely loved it (still do) and the montage where this song kicks in might be my favorite part of the flick. There is a scene in Collateral where Audioslave kicks on too which always gives me the chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I haven't listened to anything else since I heard this news Thursday morning. I am still reeling from this one. The man had the most amazing voice I have ever heard. Was privileged to see him solo last year. It was an incredible show. He played the music for U2's One while singing the lyrics to Metallica's One - unreal. He was a once in a lifetime talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
