Seattle music legend Chris Cornell died on Wednesday night at the age of 52. Early reports indicate an “apparent suicide” after Cornell performed in Detroit, Michigan with Soundgarden, the group he’s most affiliated with though Cornell also performed with Audioslave and released five solo albums.
Just the fact that Cornell existed at all was almost like an accident; no human being is meant to be one of the greatest singers in the world and also look like a combination of Brad Pitt and Jesus Christ. But he pulled it off and along with Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder became representatives for Seattle’s grunge scene in the 90s, which took over music for many years.
