Please. Gossip is not ok here...let's keep it on the high road. Chris deserves the dignity of that. Thank you.

We'd rather not close this thread. People are visiting to pay their respects. Please leave the gossip elsewhere...it's not appropriate here and we appreciate it. Thank you and have a good weekend.
hugs.

Many of us have found a sweet blanket in his music, and that of those who loved him.

And in each other.

They, and that, is where I take solace.  Doesn't always help, but when it does...it really does.

Hugs to our 10C folks.  The closer the tie, the deeper the hurt.

This is still just such a shock. I haven't been able to listen to any of Chris' music since I read the news. I'm just really grateful for all the music he blessed us with and there will never be another voice that soars quite like his did. He was so versatile and could write in any style that he wanted to.. Again, condolences to his friends & family.

I guess Eddie opened w/ Long Road in Amsterdam just now. Dimitris tweeted this right after:

If I were there I would probably be bawling like a child.

I don't know if it is considered private (if so, I will erased it) but I think this it should be in this thread.



Once again, my condolences

Hi everyone, came here to pay my respects. Being able to hear Chris Cornell sing was and always will be a highlight in my life. His was truly the most amazing voice I have ever heard and probably ever will hear. It saddens me so much to hear of all the other crap that goes along with his passing, I loath social media most of the time. Just wanted to make note that when my Nan died, I was distraught. She was so VERY important to me and I was broken. I did not attend her funeral and I couldn't even bring myself to go to her grave. Instead, I listened to music and I wrote. I walked, I ran, I screamed. It is hard enough to deal with this world sometimes and it's important to note that we all have our ways of dealing with these tragedies. Much love to Chris's family, friends, fans. ✌

The video of Chris singing Redemption Song with his daughter tore me up. My heart goes out to his kids. Hope they know how much their dad was appreciated and loved. 

I was there that night and was such a cool moment. She nailed it and nearly everyone gave her a standing ovation

Last time I saw Chris someone yelled out for him to play redemption song and he said since he'd played it with his daughter it wouldn't feel right playing it without her.

Really beautiful set. Made me put on the Into the Wild album. A good album for mourning.

Listening to say hello to heaven is tough. Such a great display of his amazing voice. I put my phone on shuffle everyday and it seems it pops up everyday. Still can't believe it, first time I've ever felt loss from someone I've never met or even got to see live. RIP you beauty and thank you

Seeing pictures of that grave stone at the memorial made this real. I couldn't help but cry again. For a week, I was waiting for the news report to come out and say it was a hoax. But now, it's sunk in. Seeing his band mates eulogize Chris was the moment I came to terms with losing him. 

I can't imagine how Eddie has felt during this process. But this picture taken at last night's show pretty much sums it up.

Keep on listening massively to Soundgarden. Oh, what a voice! Still sad.

Does the bottom represent the rest of 10c or just those listed?

Brilliant idea. RIP.

Listening to Fell On Black Days. Chris' vocal range is stunning

Of all the losses the last couple years in the Rock world, this one feels different.  My first thought was like so many others I have heard.  From all appearances Chris looked like all was well and he had everything together.  I saw him perform about 15 times starting in 1994 including PJ20, but it is those solo tours that hit me now that he is gone.  The 9:30 Club solo band show in DC on the Euphoria Morning tour in 1999 was a revelation.  I just remember his incredible voice, feeling so lucky to be there in such an intimate setting.  I was fortunate to be close to the stage for the Scream tour at the same club in 2009 when he played an incredible mix of his material plus Immigrant Song.  Then the intimate solo solo shows on the Songbook Tour (2011; 27 songs), 2013 Acoustic Tour (32 songs including Footsteps!, One/U2 with One/Metallica lyrics mashup, and Hotel California), and the Higher Truth Tour (2015; 30 songs including River of Deceit! and Nothing Compares 2 U).  On the Higher Truth Tour he seemed so in command and on top of everything that the last 10 days still don't compute for me.  I pushed myself to the second Philly TOTD show last November 5 (Pushin Forward Back, River of Deceit, Holy Roller!, Achilles Last Stand, Fascination Street!, and Missing) but never could imagine that was it.  Chris, you left us too soon, but I know I speak for your fans when I say how grateful we are for the so many albums and memories.
