 Just saw this flash across my facebook page wow. What a singer and what great bands he fronted.
 R.I.P. Chris .

Very sad about Chris Cornell, what a talent. Listen to the Temple of the Dog album and hear the absolute apex rock singer. Rest in peace Chris, you'll be greatly missed.

Yea, I agree totally with all you've said. I think this is a thing concerning the generation that probably most of us feel belonging to. Now how too early it is! Soundgarden is a band you could easily had expect being around for many decades.

Truly saddened and shocked by this one.  Loved Soundgarden (my favourite of the big 'grunge' bands, dare I say it, even more so than Nirvana?)  and really liked Audioslave and Temple.  WHAT A VOICE!  One of the few people who could sing a Zeppelin track without embarrassing himself. 

One of those 'out of the blue' deaths that you wake up to and think 'nah, this must be a dream'...

Never saw him live despite having several chances to.  Stupid me. 

[Master Ray]

Damn, it seems official that Mr Cornell hanged himself... just when I thought I couldn't feel any sadder about his passing... 

[szmurf]

I hate to hear about anyone taking their own lives.

On a lighter note: RIP - Roger Ailes.

WHAT A VOICE!

Indeed. Really sad news.
I love "Black hole sun" and "Shadow on the sun"...Michael Mann who is a big fan of Cornell used "Shadow on the sun" in one of the most striking scenes of "Collateral":

"Life's short. One day, it's gone."  RIP Chris

yes you dare say it M.R..Soundgarden were, for me, one of the defining bands of that time and Rage recruiting him was history. i mean i love Zack and all but Chris just fit them so much better..

really sucks, often you can see the pain behind the smile and how someone like Robin williams is dying inside but...
..sucks..

RIP Chris , one of the best rock singers ever and soundgarden were also brilliant band . In terms of depth and quality they were one fckin excellent and definitely my favourite from that era of great American bands. Black Days indeed !

Yes, the black dog can get anyone regardless of superficial happiness

Sad news. I remember seeing Soundgarden together with NMA in Duesseldorf in 1990.

A sad loss.

Seems like there's been another terrorist attack, this time at the Manchester Arena, confirmed fatalities according to Greater Manchester Police... this at an Ariana Grande show, a singer who has mostly kids as her fans...

Fuckin' evil cnuts.
