God I'm so sad right now...

Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, died Wednesday night after performing in Detroit, his representative told CNN.

Cornell's death, at age 52, is being investigated as a "possible suicide," a spokesman for the Detroit Police Department told CNN.
A family friend called 911 around midnight Thursday after he went to check on Cornell and found the musician "unresponsive" on the bathroom floor at the MGM Grand hotel, spokesman Michael Woody said. Emergency medical personnel arrived, and Cornell was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

"We are moving in the direction of a possible suicide but we are waiting on the Medical Examiner's Office to provide their report," Woody said.
Cornell was in Detroit performing with Soundgarden on a US tour that kicked off last month. His passing was "sudden and unexpected," his representative, Brian Bumbery, said in a statement to CNN.
"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," the statement read. "They would like to thank his fans for their continuous love and loyalty and ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
The Grammy-winning rocker had performed Wednesday night at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. He ended his performance with a cover of Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying."
"Full set with an encore. Nothing odd. Outstanding performance," Bill Lowe of Port Clinton, Ohio, said, describing the show in a text message to CNN.

I'm so sad too .. growing up with socal stations, no Sunday would go by without a Soundgarden marathon thrown into the mix.. I never actually liked it but his voice brings so many memories of my childhood. I liked Audioslave later on, and also realized he was quite handsome!.. kind of tragic that he battled addictions his entire life and obviously the ghosts that stuff must leave on you for life. RIP.
