    As gutted as I've been all morning since reading the news, my thoughts have wandered towards what his family and friends are going through.  I've taken this a lot harder than I ever thought possible so my heart is to everybody who is personally involved.

    I didn't cry about Kurt (until I watched the movie). 
    I didn't cry about Layne. 
    For some reason, this hurts more than I imagined it would. 
    Maybe it's the place I'm in now. 
    Maybe it's the place I thought he was in. 
    Maybe because it's so shocking.

    Listening to Euphoria Morning, followed by Songbook. Hard not to well up with tears again. Just has to happen though. We've weathered far too many of these. Cobain, Hoon, Staley, now Cornell. This brings me right back to feeling 16 again and gutted.

    I got up feeling so down
    I got off being sold out
    I've kept the movie rolling
    But the story's getting old now, oh yeah
    I just looked in the mirror
    And things aren't looking so good
    I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah

    So now you know, who gets mystified
    So now you know, who gets mystified

    Show me the power child
    I'd like to say
    That I'm down on my knees today
    Yeah, it gives me butterflies, gives me away
    Till I'm up on my feet again
    Yeah I'm feeling
    Oh, I'm feeling outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined

    Oh yeah
    Yeah
    Someone let the dogs out
    They'll show where the truth is
    The grass is always greener
    Where the dogs are shitting, oh yeah
    I'm feeling that I'm sober
    Even though I'm drinking 
    I can't get any lower
    Still I feel I'm sinking

    ***RIP Chris - thank you for the songs and memories.  Hearts and thoughts to wife, children, family, bands, friends, and other fans!  Sad day for everyone!

    So Sad... too close to home (PJ home). Obviously don't know him at all but always thought Chris seemed pretty solid, secure and stable but I guess you can't ever tell... Just shocked... so young... right in the middle of a tour... Seemed like he was touring non-stop for the past few years...

    everyone is assuming it was suicide. we don't know that yet. they are investigating it as one. but there are many possibilities. could have been accidental. who knows. we won't know until the medical examiner determines it.

    Deeply saddened, such a tremendous loss and way way too early.  So much given to so many and surely so much more left to give.

    Thanks for all your contributions to my past, present and future.  What a voice!!!

    RIP Chris

    This is so incredibly sad, thoughts go out to the entire Pearl Jam Family, Soundgarden Family, friends and Chris' wife and kids. This one hurts on so many levels. Hang in there everyone :bawling: this is just brutal news to take

    So sad.  Soundgarden was my very first concert 20 plus years ago.  What a voice.

    While it's true no one knows until an official report, the combo of his family calling to have someone check on him and him being found with something around his neck make "accident" almost impossible.  Why would family be checking on him if they weren't worried?

    No matter what, the end result is awful.  But in this case I understand those saying "probably suicide" given the other details released so far...
