Celebs React to Chris Cornell’s Shocking Death
A voice as loud and powerful as Chris Cornell's was bound to reach the masses, and a day after the singer's unexpected death, fans — many of whom are fellow musicians and celebrities — are remembering the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman.
Cornell died Wednesday night (May 18) after a show in Detroit, where reports say he had been in good spirits.
"His wife, Vicky, and family were shocked to learn of his sudden and unexpected passing, and they will be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause," a subsequent statement read, according to Us Weekly."They would like to thank his fans for their continuous love and loyalty and ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
