    I saw Audioslave at Oxegen 05 and fell in love. Can't get my head around this at all. RIP Chris.

    Sucks for anyone to go out at that age, nevermind his talent and everything else.

    Audioslave is still one of the top 5 live shows I've ever seen.

    One of the top voices in rock of the last 30 years. Brutal, brutal news.

    Ah ****....

    Soundgarden were one of my favourite bands growing up. Superunknown got me through my Leaving Cert years. Soundgarden, along with Temple of the Dog, AIC and Pearl Jam were the soundtrack to those years for me.

    What a voice he had. First time I heard Say Hello 2 Heaven I was hooked on it. Then I got a copies of Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger and I was hooked on the band.

    Very sad day for music.

    RIP Chris. And thanks for all the joy you brought to me and millions through your music.

    You know it's big news when my 62 year old mother is texting me saying how sad it is

    He was one of those instantly recognisable voices in rock music.

    A very influential part of my youth.

    The man had a rare voice. Superunknown is still one of my all time favorite albums. What a loss.

    Jesus. At 52, so young.

    His version of Nothing Compares 2 U was played a fair bit around the time of prince's death last year. 13 months later and he himself passes away.

    I was thinking the same. Although I would also count Scott Weiland as well.

    Anyway rest in peace Chris Cornell.
