Truly sad because Cornell seemed to have everything together when compared to the other leading men of the 90's minus maybe Dave Grohl.
He proved he had what it took after he joined Rage Against the Machine when De la Rocha left and they formed Audioslave, but they also put out great music too. I'll never forget Pretty Noose, me and one of my best friends always listened to the grunge music back then and that was one of the songs we would listen too and he passed just a week before our graduation so he was a tie between me and him so it definitely hurts.
