The Late Chris Cornell

Groovy History

Chris Cornell was one of those singers whose voice was immediately recognizable from the first syllable that he sang. Sadly, the singer took his own life while touring, in a room all alone in a Michigan hotel. Although his memory lives on in his music and his children, his death was a huge loss to the music industry, and his songs will live on forever. In his early years with Soundgarden, he was often compared to Led Zeppelin. The singer told Spin magazine in an interview, “When we first got stuck with that Led Zep tag three years ago, I thought it was O.K. Back then, everyone in Seattle was into the Smiths and the Cure and Led Zeppelin was very ‘70s, very uncool. We were outcasts from the goofy art rock scene, which was fine by me. I just figured, it could be worse, they could’ve compared me to Jim Morrison.”
