No way!!!

Incredibly sad news

Chris Cornell was my absolute favourite male vocalist. That man had the most incredible range and could belt out a screaming rock fueled guitar blast of a song, and then go all the way back down to melancholic and gentle accoustic moods. Damn... that's really got me

Oh my goodness. That was a shock.

I had the pleasure of seeing Chris with Audioslave and he was an excellent showman. I love his music and his voice. Mr Cornell take a bow.

I'll always be grateful for Superunknown - one of those albums that got me through a bad time and is therefore quite poignant for me.

Soundgarden is probably the "essential" Cornell. Try "Black Hole Sun" and "Jesus Christ Pose." The latter really showcases what a formidable voice he had.

Hmmm on reflection Soundgarden may be a little heavy for you too then. His solo work is much more accessible, but I'm not a big fan of it tbh. Try some Temple of the Dog. "Say Hello to Heaven" gives me goosebumps, and his backup vocal on "Hunger Strike" is raw emotion.

Surprisingly, he is the first performer of a Bond opening title theme to pass away.

Black hole sun is just outstanding.

Sad day, especially since I heard they're investigating the possibility of suicide.

Suicide... It cuts deep to think he gave in for the nihilism that's so apparent in his work.

I know it may sound silly but I really feel like I've lost an old friend today and I'm feeling absolutely devastated...

Rest easy, CC! I hope you're having a drink with Cobain and Staley.

Yeah, he's be fighting his demons all his life - they're all through his music. I guess king hate that the demons beat him.

Hands down the best rock vocalist ever.
