Also getting reintroduced to the emotions of having a very close friend pass in the same way, out of nowhere just like this. Emotions that I haven't felt in years have just come rushing back in the last few days. The whole thing is just so awful. I wish everyone close to him well on trying to find closure in this terrible situation, because in many cases it just never happens. I wish them the absolute best.
listening to Stern play songs and old interviews. Chris was so excited to talk music....it's too much.

Speculating it was an accident is one thing, but taking it beyond that is disrespectful and unnecessary. I don't get why anyone would bring up such things. It's gossip unless something comes out otherwise. Have some respect. We're all obviously at a loss and looking for an answer, but unless we ever get one, these speculations are no better than that random stranger writer who tried to point out there were all these signs Chris exhibited during the concert that night.

Don't get drawn into the conspiracy theories that big pharma has the cure for cancer but would rather sell pills than cure the world's health problems.
There are a lot of great drugs that have done the unimaginable. Helped people live comfortable, productive, normal lives. Everything has side effects. It comes with the territory. It's a risk you take, that you discuss with your physician - do the benefits outweigh the potential risks?
Pushing overuse onto doctors alone is not fair or accurate, particularly in the case of narcotics and antidepressants.
It's a serious issue in America and Chris Cornell is part of the discussion now, unfortunately.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

"The pharmaceutical company boss under fire for increasing the price of the drug Daraprim by more than 5,000 percent said Tuesday he will lower the cost of the life-saving medication."

"Leaked internal emails appear to show employees at one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies calling for “celebration” over price hikes of cancer drugs, an investigation has revealed.
Staff at Aspen Pharmacare reportedly plotted to destroy stocks of life-saving medicines during a price dispute with the Spanish health service in 2014. After purchasing five different cancer drugs from British firm GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the company tried to sell the medicines in Europe for up to 40 times their previous price, reported The Times."

rgambs said:I really don't want to be disrespectful to Chris, his family, or his legacy, but I have had a nagging thought since the beginning of this terrible news.
Is it possible that it was an accident? I'm not explaining what I mean, some folks will get what I mean and some won't, but it just keeps circling the back of my mind and I haven't heard anyone else suggest it.
I don't judge what people do when they aren't hurting anyone else, so I don't see it as disrespectful, but I suppose some might.
It's just hard to wrap the mind around, scrambling for answer is a natural tendancy, but I guess it doesn't do a damn bit of good.0 -
My wife showed me this last night....hearing him tell the back story....Chris you were such a wonderful gift, we will miss you forever.

Guys.. Pharma debates and speculative debates on the reason for Chris's passing is not in the spirit of what this thread is.
I am not saying I agree or disagree with either of these issues, this is just not the place to divide us. I would prefer this thread stays open for those who need to share and mourn and grieve. Please don't ruin it for them. Thank you...

I turned to music when it happen the first time. Today, it doesn't help like it use to. I feel sad and helpless.
My condolences to his family, friends and fans in these roughs moments.0 -

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.0

Took this tragedy to finally get a few more solo albums I've been meaning to get.. one being Songbook. Looked for it on vinyl, was selling 5 days ago for $35, now its $135. I saw a rumor they are being repressed, anyone know if that is true?
Got a digital version, and am kicking myself not not listening to it for the last 5 years.0 -

The whole album is a beauty but River of Deceit with Chris on vocals just guts me. The photo inserts/vinyl sleeves leave striking images to remember him by.
It just felt like everybody was in such a great place in life... but of course that is just a fans casual perspective from a disrance
Not to mention the fans that paid above face value for tickets, will now only get a face value refund.
I dont how the logistics work, but I assume the band is out money and costs for last minute cancelation of a tour, just from the expenses involved in planning and booking, and handling the mess that was left.
Seems like creating a hundred more loose ends for his friends, family, bandmates and fans. Not tying anything up.
As far as being an accident that has been mentioned a couple times, I doubt we'll ever know with any level of certainty.Post edited by mace1229 on0
