:cryyy:

I woke up this morning to news that Chris Cornell of Sound Garden, Audio Slave.. among other side projects had passed away this morning.

Tragic news for those of us that grew up with his music and multi-faceted lyrics. Chris was a majorly talented individual that put everything he had into what he loved.


Quote:

Police are calling his death an apparent suicide.

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

He added that the “Fell On Black Days” performer’s family will be “working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause.”

The “I Am The Highway” singer was found with a band around his neck inside a MGM Grand casino hotel room around midnight, according to police.

A family friend who was called to check in on Cornell forced his way into the hotel room and discovered the singer unresponsive on the bathroom floor, cops said.

Dontae Freeman, a spokesman for the Detroit Police Department, called Cornell’s death an “apparent suicide.”

More details will become available through the day Thursday, Freeman said.

Soundgarden was slated to perform at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, Friday.

According to reports, one of the final songs Soundgarden performed Wednesday night at the Fox Theater was a cover of Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying," which features the lyrics: "In my time of dying, I want nobody to mourn / All I want for you to do is take my body home."

Like the sun we will live to rise
Like the sun we will live and die and then ignite again
Like the sun we will live to rise again, again.
