At 52. Way too young. I played the hell out of Superunknown
RIP Chris Cornell

Still one of my favorite songs of all time. Of course the trivia here is that while Eddie Vedder was in the Temple of the Dog supergroup, Pearl Jam technically hadn't yet been formed. And this song actually wasn't that popular until Pearl Jam came onto the scenes a year later.
Jimi, Janis, Moon, Jerry, Morrison ( alcohol ) Danko, That's just the beginning of the list. You can make any case you want when it comes to drug deaths and rock and roll.
Heroine. It's so much easier to kill yourself using it than to drink yourself to death.
I read this morning his wife talked about having 14 years of sobriety and was denying it had anything to do with drugs. Guess the autopsy will answer many questions.
Creepy details....

I have seen some reports that are suggesting suicide - I guess we will eventually know for sure, either way it was way to young for a very talented individual.
I was just jamming to some Outshined in the car this morning. One of the best voices out there for a long time. So powerful and deep. When soundgarden and nirvana hit the scene in the early 90's it was relevatory. We had never heard anything like that. Love it or leave it, it was different and it got your attention. Only the good die young...
It's better to burn out than to fade away.

There's some rumors here in Detroit that he was found with something around his neck fwiw.
Sad.
Heartbreaking.
Chris leaves behind wife Vicky Karayiannis-Cornell, who he recently described as "an angel, a lioness and the perfect wife and mother", their 12-year-old daughter Toni and son Christopher, 11. He also leaves his daughter Lillian Jean, 16 ... .
Of all of the great songs he sang, Say Hello To Heaven always pops first in my mind when thinking about his voice at it's peak. My goodness.
I always wanted to hear him try a few old time gospel songs to hear what that would sound like.
Was fortunate to see him front Soundgarden four times, once from the front row. Audioslave three times, once from up front at the Borgata. Temple of the dog three times (twice with EV involved), and solo once. Great talent!
While you are correct that TOTD did not get popular until 1992 after PJ and SG had made it big. But EV was not in Temple of the Dog, he simply sang vocals on a few songs. He wasn't included on the album as a member and wasn't on their tour last fall.
Also Pearl Jam played their first live show on October 22, 1990, before the recording sessions for TOTD began in November 1990.

Loved Superunknown, Down on the Upside and Temple of the Dog. Was just listening to Fresh Tendrils the other day over and over again.
Lucky you. I was really hoping Audioslave would do a reunion tour after their one off a few months ago. Definitely a sad day.
If you are a fan of Chris Cornell/any of the bands he was a member of, you need to know this song. One of the very best voices in rock music ever.
Pigpen died of alcohol induced gastrointestinal hemorrhage at age 27, so alcohol, drugs basically end up just as dead......
Layne Staley's death hit me hard just because he was so young and I think they actually were the pioneers maybe more so than anyone. Loved Soundgarden/Cornell though.
Really sucks and he was still so young. Sounds like he just had enough. He apparently lost about everyone he was close with due to drug use.
I thought he was actually the normal one out of the Seattle crew.

His voice wasn't one to melt butter, this is true. But he could sing outside of the grunge tone, too.
Barret didn't die years ago, he just kinda went crazy from drug use. He died recently, in 2006.
The real question is... is Roger Waters or David Gilmour the "lead"? Waters left the band after "the final cut" in 1983. The only member in the band for it's entire existence is the drummer Nick Mason.
I am probably way in the minority because I am not even sure if it was a hit but My Wave is one of my favorites. Just so different and original. Live version is good.
