Grunge pioneer and lead singer of bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, Chris Cornell died unexpectedly at age 52, Wednesday night in Detroit, shortly after his performance, according to a representative of the artist.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Brian Bumbery said that his family and friends are shocked and called the death “sudden and unexpected”. He then added that the family wishes to work closely with a medical examiner to determine the cause and urge fans and media for privacy.
We’d like to show our appreciation and respect for this man and his amazing work by sharing with you a piece of a song he composed, Black Hole Son.
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
Won’t you come

Fans all over the world, let’s take a moment of silence and be the carriers of his legacy.
May he live forever in our hearts.. and ears!
