Chris Cornell, former Soundgarden singer, has died aged 52 in Detroit. His death was described as “sudden and unexpected”.


Not a fan of Soundgarden particularly but I liked his Bond theme a lot and 52 is way too young.

I've never heard it before clicking on the link.  I've heard of them and him though.

Grunge was not my thing, either; I'm definitely too old for it.  I appreciate the craft and musicality of it, however, and he was far too young to go.   Sad

He killed himself according to the coroner. So sad. He had the best rock voice, only Mike Patton was a serious rival. The more I've listened to Chris over the years the more I've come to enjoy his singing, and music. Soundgarden were truly great, and for me they stood out even though it was (in my opinion) the best ever era for rock music.

R.I.P. Chris, thanks for the music.  Cry

At last night's gig they added Led Zep's 'In My Time of Dying' to the set.

Likewise - I don't recognise that song. I suppose it shows how dominant Nirvana were on the Grunge scene as I was aware of other bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam but never actually heard any of their music. The only bands from that scene I got into, apart from Nirvana, were Screaming Trees after seeing them on Jools Holland's show and I took a chance on a Mudhoney LP without having actually heard any of the tracks on it. Those innocent pre-YouTube days!

But it's still sad to hear of Chris Cornell's death, especially as I was born in the same year as him.

I was into Nirvana, and then later got into Pearl Jam.  I always thought about checking out Soundgarden but just never got around to it.

I've been reading about Chris since the news broke, and how notable it is that he played a gig the evening before he killed himself.  And of course footage of the gig is all over YouTube and the news websites.  How strange that seems.  And how very sad.

So Sad. He had one of the greatest voices in rock. Even if you are not familiar with Soundgarden have a listen to some of his renditions of classics on youtube such as Nothing Compares, Thank You, Imagine, Redemption Song and particularly Billie Jean. Stunning!

Yes, and the fact that he was apparently sending out quite happy sounding tweets after the gig. There is something strange about it all. I wonder if he suffered from bipolar or something similar.

It's possible he had already made the decision at that time. I've read that a kind of peace comes over someone when they finally and seriously decide to end it all.

Yes, I've heard that too. I once heard it in relation to Nick Drake. He seemed at ease, and things were going well.

His family are claiming this was accidental, so perhaps we can all hang fire until the inquest.

I'm not one to put words in your mouth, but is that the best phrase to use, given the circumstances?

Doesn't seem that long ago he was interviewed on Radio 4's Today programme.
