For those of you who grew jammed to Soundgarden at the height of the grunge era, Chris Cornell, Soundgarden's frontman, was a god. So it's extremely sad news to learn that Cornell, 52, was found dead in his Detroit hotel early Wednesday night after this final gig at the Fox Theatre.
The singer was found dead on the bathroom floor of his room at the MGM Grand Detroit hotel and police are investigating the death as a possible suicide, according to The Associated Press. "His wife Vicky and his family were shocked to learn of his sudden passing and will be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause," Cornell's publicist said in a statement.
