Chris Cornell
I didn't know too much about the rock group Soundgarden.
They were a little after college for me, so while I heard some of their songs...
...they weren't on my music list.
I did hear their lead singer speak a few times, though, and he actually played live on one of the radio shows.
Talented guy with a distinctive voice. I even thought about investigating their greatest hits, but never did.
Soundgarden was still playing live.
They played the other night in Detroit, and after the show Chris Cornell, the lead singer and face of the band, called home, spoke to his wife (he was slurring his words), and then he hung himself in his hotel bathroom.
It caught my attention.
First off, he was 52 (same as me) and the human moment of his phone call home really bothered me. He had three children. His wife said that he kept saying "I'm so tired."
She sent someone to check on him and they found him too late.
Damn.
He was successful in his field. He had a family and was beloved.
Why?
There are stories floating about his meds causing him problems...
...depression and suicidal thoughts...
You hear that trumpeted in the disclaimers about this medication or that.
Shame.
May he get some rest.
