yorick Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Apparently Chris Cornell has passed on at the age of 52. Never the greatest fan, but his bands always produced some quality music. Will be missed. Edited May 18, 2017 by yorick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just heard this on the radio, he was just 52 http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/chris-cornell-dead-soundgarden-audioslave-aged-52-a7742046.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Holy c&&p! Awful news. Loved his voice. His solo works were a bit so so but his work with Soundgarden and Audioslave was epic. What a loss! ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 It's sad when anyone dies unexpectedly but this is also a serious loss to music. One of the best rock voices ever and my current fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mu5 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 52 that's no age at all. I really liked Audioslave, a real loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I am sat her with tears running down my cheeks. Soundgarden was one of the bands that helped me through some difficult years as a teenager and he is high up on my all time fav rock vocalists lists. His last tweet was 8 hours ago, saying he was back in Detroit Rock City and he was on tour. Really wonder what happened, pretty sure he was off the drugs but maybe his heart failed or so.

I was privileged to see him in the last year in his solo tour and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Sammers Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Terrible shame, at only 52 too! He was 1 of THE voices in rock, of any generation. Can't imagine what his familys is going through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 What?! Are you kidding? I don't get chance to listen to much music in the mornings as I'm in a rush. Guess what I had on? Black Hole Sun....and last night I was looking into rotary pedals for the amazing tone they get on this song. This is crazy. Totally out of the blue.

Barking Spiders Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes, I was more than gobsmacked to've just read that in the online Guardian. Soundgarden were the only band from the grunge scene i like, definitely a cut above.Saw them a few years ago playing Brum. A quality. live act. .
