Chris Cornell
Chris Cornell was the frontman of the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave. Cornell was viewed as one of the cornerstones of the 1990s grunge movement, known for his extensive songwriting credits, four-octave vocal range, and powerful vocal belting. Cornell publicly struggled with mental illness and substance abuse. A bad PCP trip led him to experience panic disorder and agoraphobia.
On May 18, 2017, Cornell was found dead in the bathroom at the MGM Grand Hotel in Detroit, Michigan. He had committed suicide by hanging himself with an exercise band.
