    Shit! 52 is no age at all. Superunknown forms part of the soundtrack of the most fun period of my life. RIP.

    Jesus that's a shock. His voice was utterly stunning. In the era of grunge inspired rock he really did have one of the most powerful and captivating voices going.

    Really sad.

    I'm not a massive fan of Soundgarden but I used to absolutely love Audioslave. RIP

    You are kidding me? Holy shit! Was listening to Audioslave this week.

    An incredible talent although not particularly charismatic as a front man.

    I was fortunate to see Soundgarden play a few years ago, Motorhead were also on the bill as were Faith No More. Thankfully Mike Patton will live forever!

    Preferred Audioslave to Soundgarden but saw Soundgarden at Reading just before Neil Young and they were great that night.

    I like RATM and Soundgarden but thought Audioslave, who I'll never get the chance to see play now, were better than both of them.

    Being a metal head and rock fan, I love the music of the 80s and 90s, not a massive Soundgarden fan but enjoyed their stuff like Black Hole Sun.

    RIP

    Maybe one for cover to cover - this is a fantastic version of Nothing Compares to You.

    I saw him play an acoustic set at Royal Albert Hall last year. He was jaw-droppingly good.

    I was still harbouring hopes that Audioslave would get back together for a new album.

    RIP

    Audioslave formed when I was a teenager getting into rock/metal music and I absolutely loved them.

    RIP.

    Soundgarden were right up there with Nirvana for me during my university years. RIP Chris - another shocker.

    Terribly sad and shocking this news, he possessed an incredible voice. Loved Soundgarden and his work with Audioslave but I'll be playing Temple of the Dog's 'Hunger Strike' when I get home.

    RIP Chris.

    Found Soundgarden while I was into Nirvana. Jesus Christ Pose one of my favourite Soundgarden songs. What a great voice.

    Looked at your thumbnail avatar @Bedsaddick and thought that Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen had died for a minute.

    Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland and now Chris Cornell, only Eddie Vedder and Anthony Keidis left from the bands I was into most growing up.
