so sad

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Absolutely shocked. Such an awesome performer. RIP.

 

[shiznit]

Pretty shocked...

I know he made his career through soundgarden... but I didn't really listen to them...

I came across him with audioslave... what a voice.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Shocked.. knew he had his issues a few years back but thought he was back on the straight and narrow.

Always thought Cornell had been criminally underrated throughout his career.

His lyrics were brilliant and vocally just amazing.

Sad but will no doubt now get the creds he deserves.

I'm in tears. 3 of the Big 5 bands silenced way before their times.

RIP Chris Cornell. Never outshined. May you find peace on the other side.

Bad Motor Finger...oh my gosh. 1991 seams like 5 seconds ago. Where has it all gone.

I'm just raw here.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Holy shit...I'm shattered.

Jesus Christ Pose, Pretty Noose and Black Hole Sun will never sound the same again.

Just better....

Holy shit...I'm shattered.

Jesus Christ Pose, Pretty Noose and Black Hole Sun will never sound the same again.

Just better....

Just played all those three. Am absolutely gutted.

Fell On Black Days, said so much and the song itself, the musicianship behind it, was almost perfect.

 

[Storm13]

This is bullshit news to hear.

Four out of the seven singers of the nineties that I grew up on have all now passed.

 

[Barkley]

Shocking news..another great gone with so much shit left behind.

Condolences to his family, friends and fans.

Scott

Trent

If I've got Kurt on my list I should have Eddie as both bands would be equal bottom of my list.

RIP Chris, just so gutted.

My favourite singer/songwriter is gone.
