R.I.P. Chris Cornell
« on: May 18, 2017, 08:05:48 PM »

Chris Cornell, the powerful, dynamic singer whose band Soundgarden was one of the architects of grunge music, died on Wednesday night in Detroit hours after the band had performed there.

The death was a suicide by hanging, the Wayne County medical examiner’s office said in a statement released on Thursday afternoon. It said a full autopsy had not yet been completed.

Mr. Cornell’s representative, Brian Bumbery, said in a statement that the death was “sudden and unexpected.”

Soundgarden played at the Fox Theater in Detroit on Wednesday night, and had been scheduled to perform in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday at the Rock on the Range festival.

Dontae Freeman, a spokesman for the Detroit Police Department, said in an interview that officers went to the MGM Grand hotel and casino around midnight in response to a call about an apparent suicide of a white man, whom he did not identify. Mr. Freeman said the man’s date of birth was July 20, 1964, which is Mr. Cornell’s.

He added that the man’s wife had called a family friend to check on the man; the friend forced his way into the man’s room at the casino and found him unresponsive on the bathroom floor with a band around his neck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was 52.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/singer-chris-cornells-death-ruled-a-suicide/ar-BBBgSOR?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

I still don't want to believe that. Its funny though....Just Like when Prince Died, when MJ died and now Chris its like i lost a family member in some different way because i listened to them so much over the years. Ive always been a heavy Hip hop. Funk. Soul & R&B fan First but when it came to Rock Music or country I had a soft spot for certain artists and groups like ACDC. Sound Garden. Audioslave. Johnny cash. Nine inch nails. Tears for fears and many more......That singer Chris was one bad @ss Rock singer. signature legendary voice of the 90s grunge era....freakin sucks hes gone so soon like that. I wished he grew old naturally. sad lost to the rock community
Lots and lots of supers so f*ckin what

HAIL CROM!!
