    Articles appearing with comments from Chris' wife...she states that he was NOT suicidal and did not give any indications of such.

    Had lots of work to do . . . but couldn't manage the attention to do it. Still listening to his music and reading this thread. So far, I have seen so many wonderful posts about him, made me tear up everytime. Time for bed . . . which is such a strange thing. Tomorrow I won't believe it . . . and I doubt the next day will be any different. When you listen back to his music, his voice was so powerful, unique, something we will never experience again. Goodnight, to everyone. Love to everyone here, and to the family, Pearl Jam and everyone who knew him personally. Much harder to endure than I suspected . . . I never felt this before with any artist. Final words from me, and I have said it a thousand times: rest in peace, Mr Cornell. Let us say hello in heaven, will be a honour to meet you.

    yeah, this is all very odd.

    man...we were all supposed to grow old with Chris Cornell, he's one of the guys we'd go watch play and love until we're 80 years old.
    You said part of what I have struggled to say out loud today. I mean, if we could we'd keep everyone we have a deep connection to/with around. It seemed like that was going to be the case....just reminds me of how deep and secretive that pain is for some.

    I made the mistake of reading the TMZ page and it makes me realize, because of all the people posting lyrics, their are MANY MANY of his songs where this is a struggle. I'm not going to presume or post them because I find it a bit morbid, but his songs seem to show his struggle.

    You can never know a person's inner demons... no matter how untroubled they may look on the surface.

    As mentioned before, today is a Chris' music day - and I suspect for the next days to come too.

    My wife said that to me today....we looked forward to planning trips to see him solo and/or with Soundgarden.  We almost made the trip up to Detroit but decided not to a month or so ago.  Unreal

    It's sad but I've put thought into the fact I'm about 10 (or more) years younger than a lot of my favorite musicians from the 90s.   It's crossed my mind that some day, should I live a long and healthy life, that I might outlive them and be left with nothing but the memories.    I never expected that to happen until I was an old old man in my 90s.   Not anywhere near this early in the game :(

    The one Cornell concert moment that always will stick out for me is when I saw him and his daughter Toni do redemption song at the Beacon Theater. His daughter nailed the song and throughout the song, she would look over at him almost like wow I'm singing with my dad, this is so cool. His daughter got a standing ovation, I don't think anyone was sitting or wasn't clapping. 
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight

    I don't think its that hard to see. It must be chaos for the band right now. And them not knowing all the details. And it being personal. Him being close to them, and really close to Matt etc. 

    I don't think they just want to put something up to put something up. Or prioritising it.
    And they're probably trying to gather their thoughts, come to grips with this, get some kind of understanding... like we all are, like his family and friends are... when the time is right, we'll probably see a very moving, well-written, well-thought out, emotional tribute. I think it takes time to do all that. They could just put out something like "R.I.P.", similar to their peers, which is all good, but they probably want to do a little more than that.

    Edit: just my $0.02, of course
    I'm sure all of PJ are completely devastated. I feel heartbroken for all of them and everyone else who loved Chris. :heartbreak:
    Yeah definitely, and of course Ben, Matt and Kim, and their travelling crew, roadies, management... It's one thing to have been a fan in the audience less than an hour prior, and something completely different to have been part of the inner circle that last saw him. My sorrow is nothing compared to theirs.

    Hopefully they all eventually find their peace, especially his young children :disappointed:

    The shock and disbelief is overwhelming. What a sad loss. My husband and I have both shed tears for the loss of Chris today. Condolences to his family, loved ones, friends and fans. His poor children. His music touched so many. We have tickets to the Denver show on Monday...but today I woke up to a headline that said "Soundgarden Silenced". I can not and do not want to grasp the fact that we'll never get to hear his voice live again...tragic.

    So glad I went to TOTD in Philly night 1. We had front row seat right in front of Chris. He looked and sounded amazing! The entire night was a dream. I have been so sad about this news all day and can only pray for his family, PJ, SG and all of the fans around the world that he touch with his beautiful voice and music.  So happy to have a place to come and grieve with others. This will hurt for a long time. Peace.

    Chris Cornell will never die for me. His hard work and beautiful music is endless and will outlive all of us. May he rest easy and keep on rockin upstairs.
