This one REALLY hurts deeply, boys and girls.
Soundgarden was always my favorite Seattle band and there is so much great stuff in the Library. While I never had a chance to see Soundgarden live, I did see Chris Cornell in the fall of 2015 when he was doing a solo tour at a small venue- the Lakewood, OH Civic Auditorium. The guy was a consummate musician and it was a great show with a great set list. Today I "Fell on a Black Day". And in one of his songs, Chris asked, "Would you cry for me?"
Yes, Chris, yes. #RIPChrisCornell There is a Black Hole in the Sun today.
An unbelievable talent with pipes like no other. I went to college with Soundgarden, and have enjoyed Audioslave and all his solo stuff since. I now have a big regret to have never seen him live. I feel like part of me died today. Very very sad.
