CHRIS CORNELL R.I.P. 1964 - 2017 Chris Cornell, lead singer of American hard rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, has died on May 17, 2017 aged 52 in a possible suicide. In a statement to the Associated Press, his representative, Brian Bumbery, said Cornell died on Wednesday night in Detroit. Bumbery called the death “sudden and unexpected” and said his wife and family were shocked. The statement said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause, and asked for privacy. Cornell was found dead in the bathroom of his room at the MGM Grand Detroit hotel, after Cornell’s wife asked a family friend to check up on him. Detroit police spokesman Michael Woody told Associated Press that the death was being treated as a possible suicide. Cornell had been touring with Soundgarden, and was tweeting upbeat messages about a sold-out concert the band played in Detroit just hours before his death. Jimmy Page twittered: "RIP Chris Cornell/Incredibly Talented/Incredibly Young/Incredibly Missed." Soundgarden were part of the Pacific Northwestern grunge scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, coming up alongside bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam – Cornell recorded a 1991 album with the latter under the name Temple of the Dog. Like Nirvana, Soundgarden were first signed to indie label Sub Pop before making the jump to a major, taking their heavy, angsty sound into the mainstream with singles like Black Hole Sun.- The Guardian Thanks to Spacebandit for sharing the show at Dime. Spacebandit noted: This is an excellent-sounding soundboard audio from early 1989. There’s a lot of reverb on Chris’ voice and his guitar doesn’t seemed to be mixed all that loudly, but Kim comes through loud (and I mean LOUD) and clear. This is a fantastic show with TONS of energy and Soundgarden at the top of their game. Highly recommended.
