HemiBeers Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 One of the greatest vocalists in the industry, any genre, any era. Hearing suicide now and feeling even sadder than ever...He did have a struggle with depression in his past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes. Suspected suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 per his represenative "cause in under investigation with the Medical Examiner". To me, that probably excludes obvious suicide at least. But, quite honestly, f**k the cause...a tragic loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Very shocked by this. It's one of those reports you think is fake at first because he's the furthest person from your mind when it comes to a rock stars you think may pass away soon. Along with Alice In Chains, Soundgarden was my favorite band from that era. Was looking forward to a new album from them in the near future. Such a huge loss of an extremely talented songwriter and vocalist. RIP Edited May 18, 2017 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Chris' words for Andrew, now for him. One of the most powerful and memorable show openers I have seen, only performed 8 times ever by TotD, Please, mother of mercyTake me from this placeand the long winded cursesI keep here in my headWords never listenand teachers, oh, they never learnbut I'm warm from the candlethough I feel too cold to burnHe came from an islandand he died from the streetand he hurt so bad like a soul breakingbut he never said nothing to me So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven... New, like a babyLost, like a prayerThe sky was your playgroundbut the cold ground was your bedI said poor stargazerShe's got no tears in her eyesbut smooth like a whisperShe knows that love heals all wounds with timeNow it seems like too much love is never enoughYeah, you better seek out another road'cause this one has ended abrupt So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...I never wanted to write these words down for youwith the pages of phrases of all the things we'll never doSo I blow out the candleand I put you to bedSince you can't say to me nowhow the dogs broke your bonethere's just one thing left to be said So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...So say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Cobain, Staley, Weiland, now Cornell. Too much, way too soon. Someone please tell Eddie Vedder to stay indoors or something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I've heard that his wife was having a hard time reaching him after the show and had a friend break down his door when he didn't respond, found him hanging or on the floor in the bathroom, one. Have heard both. We'll learn more. Just feel wrecked this morning. Edited May 18, 2017 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 How the hell is this possible? I just saw him with Soundgarden a few years ago. He wasn't that old. I don't even wanna go to work today. RIP Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwillchooseFreeWill Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm so dim about the music scene that I only knew his solo work. What a loss! I'll have a lot to catch up on. And here I was worried about my family curse of dying at 74. 52 is way too young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I wasn't a huge fan of Soundgarden...I did love the song Rusty Cage though....But this news that's coming out about a possible suicide is really getting to me... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I saw Soundgarden open up for GNR in November 1991. They were unbelievable. When I first started dating my wife, an old girlfriend from college called my parents' house and left a message for me (I was living in an apartment in Boston by then). In retrospect I can admit to myself she hurt me very badly, but I almost returned the call. But I didn't. A few years ago, Chris released a great song, Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart. When the song came out, I remember thinking I would have listened to that repeatedly if it had been released when my mother told me about the message. Audioslave's Be Yourself is another song that always touches me when I hear it. His song from Slash's solo album, Promise, seems like it was written by me to my own kids (I know it's not). I'm really going to miss getting new music from him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonoflife Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes. Suspected suicide. My guess it was the Michael Hutchence kind of suicide...this sounds like it was an accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/soundgardens-chris-cornell-dead-at-52-w482882 Police are investigating possible suicide. Apparently looking for more info from the medical examiner this afternoon. If the ME is that quick with determination, the cause is probably pretty obvious. The only other realistic cause would be heart attack...especially after a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Would hate it to be suicide. But losing friends at young ages like he did with Wood, Cobain and Staley, who knows what kind of weight he may have been carrying on the inside all these years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
