Chris Cornell dies at 52

Chris Cornell, Soundgarden frontman, dies aged 52 | Music | The Guardian[^] I really can't believe it. :wtf: A true musical hero. For me, he's the best rock singer ever, apart from Freddie, and even then, Freddie was more of a pop/tenor working with a rock band. I saw him live year before last, and he looked as healthy and fit as a thirty year old. Apparently he has been completely teetotal for some years now. Why is he dead, and Chris Martin still draws breath? Not fair. I'm gutted, I was looking forward to another amazing album along the lines of Higher Truth. (throws arms in the air) Oh well, back to work. Bugger it. :((
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

I'm pretty shocked too. I loved his voice and his songs, Soundgarden and Audioslave will always be a part of my playlist as they have been for the past 10 years.

Really bummed myself. One of my favorites ever. I still miss Layne to this day and I doubt I'll ever stop listening to Chris. Hopefully Myles Kennedy doesn't go anywhere.
Don't tempt fate! The way things are going we'll have no rock stars left by the end of the year.... A lot of the legends (naming no names) are approaching *that* age as well. I just wish Chris could've given us a few more years. I always find it ridiculous when people say things like this when their favourite artist dies, but I honestly feel like I lost a friend or a brother or something. I'll miss him. His songs have gotten me through some seriously dark times.

Looks like it is being investigated as a suicide, not of the OD variety, which is tragic. His voice was amazing when he was younger but all of the promo material being aired for the show didn't sound right. Lots of cracks, didn't sound like he had the range anymore, that sort of thing. And I regret not taking a chance and making time to go the last time he went through here. Because it would have been amazing and a once in a lifetime memory.

I saw him at Zermatt Unplugged in 2015 (I think) and there was no problem there. He completely blew me away with his range, and ease. Just so much relaxed power, seemingly endless. It's even more staggering when there is no band to drown it out. I was about 8 feet from him, and I'll never forget the version of Blow Up the Outside World he played that night. Epic.

Sad, a freakish beast of a voice. :(

Wow! This is sad news. :( I agree, one of the best rock singers with a truly unique voice. Strange, I hadn't listened to SG in ages until just a few days ago at the breakfast table when I made the missus endure 'Superunknown', 'Black Hole Sun' and 'Spoonman'.

I am lucky: me and my GF (whom I'll marry on September) share the same musical tastes. Many dinner were spent with Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Depeche Mode or Marylin Manson in the background.
