Chris Cornell, Audioslave and Soundgarden singer, has died aged 52

Rocker Chris Cornell, who gained fame as the lead singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, has died at the age of 52, his representative has revealed.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Brian Bumbery says Cornell died Wednesday night in Detroit.

Bumbery called the death "sudden and unexpected" and said his wife and family were shocked by it. The statement said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

The American singer was one of the founders of the grunge moment in Seattle in the Nineties, where he formed Soundgarden, best known for their Grammy Award-winning singles Black Hole Sun and Spoonman. He had a four octave vocal range and continued to make music after Soundgarden broke up in 1997 (they later reformed in 2010), including writing a Bond theme in 2006.

Cornell went on to form supergroup Audioslave, which he fronted alongside former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, in 2001.

But Cornell forged a successful career as a solo artist and songwriter between his time in bands. His 1999 solo album, Euphoria Morning, was the first of five spanning 16 years. His last, Higher Truth, reached the US top 20, following its release in 2015. He toured with Linkin Park and Aerosmith in the late Noughties, and played Hyde Park as recently as 2012.

Cornell also made a foray into film soundtrack composition, writing the Casino Royale theme You Know My Name and The Keeper, which he won a Golden Globe nomination for and appeared in the film Machine Gun Preacher.

Something was obviously bothering the guy because his wife called someone there that was associated with the band to check on him. I suspect he was suffering from depression. I've been there myself but I've never contemplated suicide.

Thought Cornell was a great, great rock singer.

Man, what a fuckin' VOICE that guy had.

Really liked Soundgarden quite a bit. Can't say I was anything approaching an avid Cornell fan in terms of following what he did post-1997 or so. Heard bits here and there.

Don't know the specifics of his personal life, or his death (overdose, suicide, etc.)...tremendous rock singer. Seems a shame he passed at such a relatively young age, though I suppose that's true of a lot of people who die in their early 50s.

Chris Cornell’s Wife Disputes Suicide Ruling, Says Medication Could Have Played Role
by Mary Emily O'Hara
3-4 minutes

As music fans everywhere mourn the sudden loss of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, his family is raising questions about the circumstances behind his death.

Cornell, 52, was found dead late Wednesday after a concert in Detroit, Michigan. The Wayne County medical examiner's office declared his death a suicide by hanging.

The renowned, Grammy-winning Seattle grunge rocker left behind a wife and three children.

Early Friday, Vicky Cornell issued a statement in which she expressed concerns that her husband's medication — the anti-anxiety benzodiazepine known commercially as Ativan — may have impacted his judgment.

"When we spoke after the show, I noticed he was slurring his words; he was different," she said in the statement. "When he told me he may have taken an extra Ativan or two, I contacted security and asked that they check on him."

Kirk Pasich, an attorney for the Cornell family, said in the statement that the rocker was a recovering addict and speculated that he may have taken more benzodiazepines on Wednesday than the dosage recommended.

"The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions," said Pasich.

No toxicology reports had been concluded by Friday.

"What happened is inexplicable and I am hopeful that further medical reports will provide additional details," said Vicky Cornell. "I know that he loved our children and he would not hurt them by intentionally taking his own life."

Anti-anxiety medications are common in the United States and widely prescribed for a range of anxiety disorders. A 2015 study by Columbia University psychiatrist Mark Olfson, published in JAMA Psychiatry, showed that 60 percent of all retail pharmacies in the U.S. had filled a benzodiazepine order in 2008 alone.

It's unclear exactly why Cornell was prescribed the medication, what his dosage was supposed to be or how long he was taking the medication.

Vicky Cornell said in the statement that just before his death, her husband Chris had spoken of vacation plans over the phone.

"When we spoke before the show, we discussed plans for a vacation over Memorial Day and other things we wanted to do," said Cornell, stating that Cornell had taken a break from the tour to fly home for Mother's Day and had flown to Detroit on Wednesday, the day of his death.

She called the death "inexplicable" and said Chris Cornell was a "devoted father and husband."

"The outpouring of love and support from his fans, friends and family means so much more to us than anyone can know," Vicky Cornell said. "Thank you for that, and for understanding how difficult this is for us."


For fucks sake...... the man lived in a state where the best anti-anxiety medication on the planet is completely legal. Why was he taking that garbage? :(

Chris Cornell's Life As Grunge's True Seattle Son
Charles R. Cross
The Record : NPR (http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/05/18/528985961/it-began-at-the-ditto-tavern-chris-cornells-life-as-grunges-true-seattle-son)



Of course it's a story about death and Seattle music.

I woke up this morning after bad dreams last night, only to find the real nightmare — that Chris Cornell of Soundgarden was dead. As with all these losses it seems surreal, untrue, unimaginable. But there it is.
Death Of Chris Cornell, Powerhouse Voice Of Soundgarden, Ruled A Suicide

If there was one Seattle band of the "grunge" era that seemed more "Seattle" than any other, it was Soundgarden. Nirvana was actually from Aberdeen, and not a single member lived in Seattle until 1992; Pearl Jam didn't become a band until Eddie Vedder arrived from San Diego. But Soundgarden was truly Seattle. Chris Cornell went to high school ten blocks from my house, though for accuracy, that's just outside the Seattle city limits (and, for accuracy, he dropped out of that high school).

Soundgarden also started before all those bands. The Screaming Life EP, which came out on Sub Pop on October 1, 1987, beat all those other bands to the punch. I was editor of the Seattle music magazine The Rocket in those days, and we were the first place to publish on Soundgarden, putting them on our cover when they were playing to just twenty people. That was probably appropriate, in that our magazine was located in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle (now dominated by Amazon), which was low-rent and filled with taverns. Soundgarden made one of these, the Ditto Tavern, one of their homes. Seeing them there early on, you had the sense they truly had something, but there honestly would be only a dozen people in the audience.

Cornell, however, had a singing voice that sounded like stardom. We once put him on the cover of the The Rocket and headlined it "Golden Throats." During a photo shoot for another cover story we had the members of Soundgarden stand in Green Lake covered with mud, an homage to Mudhoney (another Seattle band in that era still trying to find an audience). Soundgarden was a slow burn, and nowhere near an overnight success. The band was on three record labels before it broke, and its biggest year was 1994, after Kurt Cobain died and when many saw the Seattle scene ebbing. But Superunknown was a record that could not be denied, and "Fell on Black Days" may be my favorite vocal of that entire era.

When they finally got through, Soundgarden's members had already done their ten-thousand hours — they'd been a band for almost a decade by the time they topped the charts. "We didn't make four records that all sounded the same and the fourth one sold a lot," Cornell told me in 1995. "If anyone looks back at our history, our fans who have been around know we're not going to pull the rug out from under anybody.

"It could be that it's taken us so long to reach this level of success that our own perceptions haven't really caught up with it yet," he told me.

Soundgarden had a few more good years after that, but temporarily broke up in 1997. Cornell joined Audioslave, then did some solo records. There were gems in his post-Soundgarden songs. A few miscues. I wrote a negative review of his attempt to cover Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," and he was unhappy about the review. That didn't really change our relationship. I was the hometown writer, the guy he knew had been at the Ditto Tavern. I interviewed him a bunch after that still, and wrote bio material for Audioslave, and the Temple of the Dog reissue last year.

It was no secret that he had always struggled with depression, but drugs were also something he admitted to the press he'd battled with. That story for Chris — for Seattle, for anyone who has battled with addiction — is so complicated it can't be easily distilled. We don't know the full story yet, and words almost can't capture the level of the loss.

Sometimes that feels like it is a story unique to Seattle music — darkness equals Seattle — but it is not a linkage of just one city and loss. It's a human story.

Often it was loss that Chris and I talked about, either in official interviews, or when the tape recorder wasn't running. Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone had been Chris's roommate when Andrew overdosed, and that loss forever shaped Chris as a musician and as a person. Sometimes you thought that Chris's entire career — and not just the Temple of the Dog album — was a tribute to Andy.

In one of those conversations, Chris told of me Andy, "I don't know that we understood the full power of his aura and what he meant to all of us.

"It wasn't just like that I lost a friend," he said. "It was bigger than that."

Later in that same talk, in 2011, Chris looked up and seemed to be grabbing his thoughts, having a hard time keeping it together.

"There are a lot of fallen soldiers out there," he said.

Today, my bad dream from last night tells me there is one more.

Charles R. Cross is the author of nine books, including three New York Times' bestsellers. His 2001 biography of Kurt Cobain, Heavier Than Heaven, won the ASCAP Timothy White Award, and has been published in dozens of countries. Cross was Editor of The Rocket, the Seattle music magazine, from 1986 through 2000, which helped launch and break the grunge movement. As a journalist he was written for hundreds of newspapers and magazines including Rolling Stone, Esquire, Spin, Spy, Entertainment Weekly, Guitar World, Us, Salon, The London Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Playboy, Q, Mojo and many more.

Chris Cornell used a common piece of exercise equipment to take his own life.

We've learned the Soundgarden frontman secured a red elastic exercise band attached to a carabiner to the top of his hotel bathroom door. A carabiner is a device commonly used by mountain climbers which they attach to a belt to keep them from falling. The device can withstand enormous weight.

Cornell jammed the door shut with the carabiner at the top of the frame. The carabiner was jammed so tight it left an indentation in the door frame.

Obviously he intended to kill himself so it was suicide whether the drugs he took motivated him to do it or not. He didn't accidentally hang himself trying to have a bigger orgasm like David Carradine.

FORD
05-21-2017, 02:05 PM
If you're brain is temporarily malfunctioning because of a fucked up pharma drug, that cannot be considered an "intent" to commit suicide. Carradine's actions would be arguably intentional, because he was intentionally being fucking stupid.

I've personally witnessed people dealing with suicidal impulses directly caused by pharmaceutical drugs who were not remotely suicidal otherwise. Fortunately, they refused to give in to the impulses and instead sought the help of medical professionals and got stabilized. Too bad Chris didn't do the same.... or as I said, stuck with the best anti-anxiety medication, created by God Himself :littlebong:

Unless he accidentally hung himself he obviously intended to commit suicide.
BTW: The weed that is available now days can affect different people in different ways. The particular strain my one legged pirate pal used to (and probably still does) smoke made me kind of paranoid and triggered borderline panic attacks. I wouldn't recommend it to someone with suicidal tendencies.

Your pirate pal picked the wrong strain. The best route to go for anti-anxiety would be an Indica with a high level of CBD's. 1:1 ratio with THC or better. Odds are you guys were smoking a high THC Sativa strain.

If you read up on the various strains you'll see most if not all of them have some possible negative side effects. From personal experience I've learned even reggie can trigger mild thoughts of paranoia and such if you haven't smoked in a while. The same paranoia I experienced when I caught my first weed buzzes back in the early 70s. Weed as an anti anxiety drug isn't always a safe bet.

FORD
05-22-2017, 12:19 AM
The THC is the psychoactive property which might induce paranoia in some people (it never did me, thank Jesus.) So if you have that issue, go for a strain that has high CBD and low THC. It's the CBD medicinal properties which treat the anxiety, so arguably, you could get the benefits from a hemp oil made from industrial hemp, provided it was bred to have a high CBD content (which is something that is being done now in order to get medicinal CBD allowed in states which still insist on the ridiculous prohibition against weed

Maybe Vince Neil is too vacuous and silly to kill himself, it definitely appears from the outside he has been involved in more tragedy than any of the grungers.

I think it has more to do with that old Denis Leary joke:

Stevie Ray Vaughan is dead, yet we can't get Jon Bon Jovi into a helicopter...Whenever you hear of somebody dying of a drug overdose, it's always someone talented like John Belushi or Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin, but Motley Crue would NEVER die of a drug overdose!! You could put them in a room with 3 tons of crack, and a half-hour later they'd come out of the room going, "Rock on, man!!" Great, now they're gonna make a triple live album, fuck me! Help me, Jesus!!!

Funny, but to me any one of those 4 you mentioned is worth more to me than all the Jon Bon Jovis, Bret Michaels, Axl Roses, Vince Neils and the like put together.

And yet while I'll never get to see any of those 4 "grunge" guys live again, those hair metal jagoffs I mentioned will doubtlessly be touring forever.

No fucking justice in this world.

I think the music from the grunge era more than holds its own today...it has integrity and soul. What else do you want?

Yeah. Seems ole Axl is much more appreciative of the music, the fans, and rock and roll, these days.

Chris Cornell Toxicology Report Reveals Several Prescription Drugs in the Singer's System

A completed toxicology report for singer Chris Cornell confirmed his family’s suspicions - the late star was using prescription drugs at the time of his death.

According to a report obtained by TMZ, Cornell had Naloxone (Narcan), Butalbital (a sedative), Lorazepam (Ativan), Pseudoephedrine (a decongestant) and barbiturates in his system at the time of death.

"Many of us who know Chris well, noticed that he wasn’t himself during his final hours and that something was very off," wife Vicky Karayiannis said in a statement. "We have learned from this report that several substances were found in his system. After so many years of sobriety, this moment of terrible judgement seems to have completely impaired and altered his state of mind. Something clearly went terribly wrong and my children and I are heartbroken and are devastated that this moment can never be taken back. We very much appreciate all of the love we have received during this extremely difficult time and are dedicated to helping others in preventing this type of tragedy."

The Soundgarden frontman was found dead of suicide by hanging at MGM Grand Detroit after the band’s performance at Fox Theatre on May 18. He was 52.

The Wayne County, Michigan medical examiner completed an autopsy, ruling the star’s death a suicide. However, Cornell’s family has stated that they didn’t believe him to be suicidal.

Cornell’s family said they believe that the side effects of the prescription drug Ativan - which can cause worsening depression and thoughts of self-harm in rare cases - may have impacted Cornell. The toxicology report appears to show Cornell had ingested four tablets.

"Chris, a recovering addict, had a prescription for Ativan and may have taken more Ativan than recommended dosages," the family’s attorney Kirk Pasich said in a statement. "The family believes that if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions."

Pasich said that Cornell told Karayiannis that he had taken "an extra Ativan or two" before his death. In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, he also claimed that the City of Detroit Law Department denied his Freedom of Information Act request for reports relating to Cornell’s death. He further stated that the family is "mystified that the medical examiner announced a cause of death when the full autopsy report has not been completed."

"We are grateful for the outpouring of support as we mourn Chris’ passing, but we still have several unanswered questions about what led to his death," Karayiannis added in a June 1 statement. "We believe the toxicology report will answer these questions."

Longtime manager Ron Laffitte told CNN ahead of the funeral, "Very often times people who are in recovery have a relapse or a slip. I think unfortunately what so often happens when a recovering addict has a slip is they return to a level where they left off as opposed to easing their way back in."

Detroit artist and musician Kevin Morris - a friend of Cornell’s - previously told PEOPLE that the singer has "been clean for years."

"What was troubling him I don’t think we’ll ever know," Morris said. "I think he was a little nervous about playing in Detroit, the music capital of the world, and he took a little too much of the Ativan."

Cornell was laid to rest Friday at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Cornell’s body was flown to California, where it was cremated, the family’s attorney Kirk Pasich previously told PEOPLE in a statement. Friday’s funeral service was private, but was followed by a public memorial later in the day.
