A pioneer. Being the first of the Grunge bands to sign with a major label he paved the way for bands like Nirvana.

So sad.

Damn, RIP. Hell of a voice on that guy.

So sad. RIP Chris

He was a true bad ass. May he rest in peace.

RIP Chris, sad loss to music
He was a pioneer with a great voice and vision.

So sad.

Absolutely gutted. The world is a poorer place now.

RIP Chris

To one of the greatest male vocalists of all times, with a crazy range and comfortable in any genre. He could spill subtle melodies and scream primal grace. Much soul from Chris...
Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden (especially Badmotorfinger) and Audioslave, all masterful works of both instruments and vocals.
Peace to all his family, friends and fans.

RIP Brother, you will be missed but your mark here will live on

This masterpiece belongs here.

See ya on the next stage of the ladder, Chris!

There's a season for everything, I guess.

The police can't say why they are investigating his death as a possible suicide.

Sad if he took his own life, it shows how little we know about people who seem to have it all.

Ugh. Saw Soundgarden & NIN in 2014 during the tour to mark the 20th anniversay of TDS & Superunknown. I'd always liked Soundgarden and Chris Cornell elsewhere (Audioslave, Temple of the Dog) — but I gained a whole new appreciation sometime around dusk.

They'd knocked out a number of the more popular singles in their set list by the time the darkness descended and the clouds of smoke began to rise over the crowd. And seemingly right on cue, there was a transition. I'd always thought of Soundgarden as spanning a few genres — grunge, metal, a little post grunge pop — but as the Js burned down to ash and pupils dialated in the waning sunlight, the reverb on Cornell's vocals kicked up many many notches and the band launched into pure stoner rock.

And it was amazing. Chris Cornell's vocals were something truly special.

I wasn't expecting it beforehand (TBH, we were really there more to see NIN for the 5th or 6th time) but it turned out to be one of my fondest concert experiences.

RIP Chris Cornell, you badass.

The song that first turned me on to Soundgarden.


His voice lives on , the music still shines light into a dark world.

Reports emerging suggest suicide as a possible cause , so so sad.
