We have been waking up to bad news every day but this had me shoot straight out of bed screaming !!! WHAT???? This can't be happening! I am so sad, shocked, and angry along with everyone else ------ this can't be real.
God fucking dammit!!!!!!!!!! Not another one. Anybody else crying at work right now? God.
There was absolutely no way I was going to work today...

I've watched those I admire from the music industry pass before their time and this one hit me the hardest. I don't know if I've ever cried over the death of an icon before. His wonderful tribute to Andy Wood is also a wonderful tribute to himself. I wish his family and friends all of the best.
"There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
"Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
"Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."
I'm in such disbelief and so sad that if his suspected cause of death is true that he suffered so much. There are other answers to such pain. I'm so sad that those answers didn't find him first or weren't enough.

God fucking dammit!!!!!!!!!! Not another one. Anybody else crying at work right now? God.
yes. a VP just walked by and asked if I had allergies. I said "nope, i was crying. Chris Cornell".
he said something incredibly insensitive about suicide. if you don't understand depression, shut your mouth.
I agree. I've been crying as well. I never thought I'd mourn like this over a celebrity death. But then I realized this isn't just another celebrity death. I feel like I know Chris, along with eddie and Layne staley. I grew up with them. He altered my life's path. I don't care that I never met him. His music touched me in a way very few people other than my children have.
RIP CHRIS. I hope you found the peace you were looking for.
will myself to find a home, a home within myself we will find a way, we will find our place
I managed to pull myself together and get to work. Still absolutely devastated.
I know that I was always destined to be a Pearl Jam fan, but if it wasn't for Soundgarden I might not have gotten into them until much later. I owe so much of my musical taste to Chris and SG, it's unreal. Thanks for the memories.
Give a big ol' hug to Shannon and Andy when you see 'em, Chris.
Thanks for posting. Good version. Was the 3rd song I listened to today, after Say Hello 2 Heaven and Hunger Strike. Never got into SG but knew they were a great band. Watching the PJ20 DVD made me realize how Chris was as much the heart of the Seattle scene as anyone could be. Sorry to see him go so young.
There's a lot about this that's devastating, but to me, apart from the obvious (wife/kids/music), is the fact that a man who gave so much to so many millions of people died alone on a fucking bathroom floor in a hotel room. That's horrific no matter the cause.

They used to write a song for each other everyday. They have a lot of catching up to do.
I don't believe in heaven, but today I hope that some version of it exists, and that some lucky group of people are listening to one of the most beautiful duets of all-time. Goodbye Chris, tell Andy we all say hello.
Just devastating news.. I am very grateful for the music and many experiences that have been gifted to us through his career. I have followed him closely, and had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and spending a little time with him. The music will always live on and the experiences will always be cherished.
Having dealt with the suicide of a close family member in the past, this stirs up all of those intense emotions of sadness, anger and all of the unanswered questions...suicide is such a devastating loss for the people left behind. My heart goes out to his wife and kids, band-mates and friends.
Chris we all loved you so much, I truly hope you have found peace.
