On Wednesday night, May 17, 2017, Chris Cornell, known as the frontman of Soundgarden and Audioslave, was unexpectedly found dead after performing at a show in Detroit. Police later confirmed that he had committed suicide by hanging himself. Cornell was 52 years old. Cornell was known for his incredibly powerful voice, and was commonly recognized as one of the best rock singers of all time. Soundgarden was one of the most popular and influential grunge bands in the history of the genre. Musicians and fans all around the world have been mourning him on social media.
