Rough way to go, seemed the world was his oyster. Fame and fortune can be more a curse than a cure all. Bummer. Liked his music. https://youtu.be/3mbBbFH9fAg |

He is going to be missed (Soundgarden and Audioslave are some of my favorite bands).

One of my son's and his wife are at the concert he was supposed to be at. They were both a little somber before they left. Think it got stopped because of a storm for a while yesterday.

Seems he specifically mentioned that exact thing...
http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/05/18/chris-cornell-final-performance-detroit-soundgarden/330051001/
"But Cornell spoke fondly of Detroit, over and over. It was the one element of the show he seemed truly excited about. He talked about Detroit Rock City, how the audience was unparalleled. How the band loved playing here. He acknowledged the crowd up in the balcony, asking them to stand. He also asked the crowd in front of the stage to cheer for those people.
One line, which at the time seemed innocuous, sticks: “I feel bad for the next city,” Cornell said over the mic. The quote came just after mentioning that nothing could ever top Detroit. Now, it has a much deeper, heartbreaking meaning."

Son Andy said Soundgarden & the crowd (he said 40,000, is that possible?) at the Ohio concert he was supposed to be at sang "Wish You Were Here" and he's pretty sure it must have been heard above.
Sad indeed.
