Don't be sad, he ain't dead & neither is Bowie, Lemmy, George Michael, Prince, Scott Weiland & numerous other Illuminati celebrities who fake their deaths. Laughing my ass off, LOL. Don't you think the numerous alleged music star & actor deaths in the last few years are just a little odd ? Uhhh but the News Media doesn't lie do they ? The MSM News is a propaganda machine for the ruling oligarchy....Welcome to the Machine where things are not what they seem. They are setting the stage for WW3 to kill off billions for population control. They have Nazi FEMA death camps all over the UN. They control all weather with HAARP frequency. This technology is over 30 years old. They have been geo engineering the weather since the floods of 1927. They are destroying crops & homes on purpose. They put heavy metals in your brain via chemtrails, vaccines, underarm deodorants & of course toxic aluminum cans. This heavy metal accumulate in your brain will be used as a conductor for microwave compliance weapons. You can detox heavy metals by fasting, drinking 1 gallon or more per day of homemade distilled water, eat an organic plant based diet rich in antioxidants & chelating vegetables & by avoiding processed sugar, artificial sweeteners & by avoiding all western medicine including Vaccines which were designed to slowly kill you. Vaccines contain aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, endocrine hormone disruptors & a live attenuated virus. You gotta be stupid if you are still vaccinating. I take the conspiracy one step further. HG Wells was or maybe he still is one of them, the vampire elite. They want you to believe in aliens so of course they've cloned giants & cross hybridized them with animals to make beastly alien looking creatures. You can't pass thru the Van Allen Radiation Belt so space exploration is a sham. By cross hybridizing animals they can also create a Dragon. Since these beastly hybrids are not created by God guess who gets to possess them ? If you guessed Satan & his millions of Demons then you are correct ! The occult are much bigger than most people can imagine. They control all governments, militaries, local law enforcement, judicial system, the propaganda news media & most of the alternative news too. They control the entertainment industry, the BS educational indoctrination system, the Rockefeller owned Healthkill system & the food & water industries If you don't believe a Satanic cult runs this world then you are a brainwashed idiot :)
Average Joe - That's not what happened, as we now know. It appears he may have accidentally taken too many prescription drugs where the extreme side effects have some kind suicidal characteristics. Otherwise I would totally agree with you. Ativan is the suspected culprit that Vickey, his wife, has mentioned. Also, for other instances of suicide, please do not underestimate depression. If you’ve never experienced it before, you will not have known how seductive the outcome of no longer being alive can be. It’s ruthless, illogical and in the moment, a completely comforting and rational decision. But it is almost always the wrong one.
Please, show some respect!!! Chris was an amazing human being and artist. He helped many of us through difficult times in our lives, we felt he was a close friend... He was always kind, he wrote some of the most memorable and brutal songs of history, so shut the f*ck up, Average Joe!
That's the excuse they are giving. He was an amazing talent. But he couldn't cope. I seen him in interviews were he talked about suicide and he said it was one's choice! He took the easy way out!
Kudos to Chris for puttin' headphones upon his children. His voice was (I hate to say was) powerful and loud that he would kill there eardrums. R.I.P Chis.
kidda74 he made an impulsive decision. had he had someone, there that cared and would have prevented that impulsive decision, he would probably be with us today. am still somewhat upset with Chris for his selfish impulsive decision, not for myself but for his beautiful family, heartbroken, probably the most over any public figure in my life, even Kurt Cobain. I was 23 when that happened,and I would like to think I'm a little wiser now, and I feel this is a bigger loss, Chris was an extremely, kind, gentle, caring soul, who was obsessed with death. as am I, that's why my opinion is so strong about this, I've been in that hole, and if you can just make it one more day, one more hour, one more minute, tomorrow will be another day. and with the support of his lovely family he would be with us today, that would be my wish for the world. because i'm sure knowing Chris and being able to call him "friend" was a gift not to be taken lightly. God bless and God rest your beautiful soul Mr. Cornell I can truly say that I love you and will miss you deeply, and God bless your widow Vicky, and your beautiful children, may their higher power guide them through life to happiness and peace in their souls, may this not destroy them, thank you for sharing Chris with all of us I know I'm better off just knowing of him
Chris was humble despite the fame he had. I knew him in the early days when he was dating Susan Silver whom he later married. One could sense that Chris was a thinker, on the poetic side. I was dismayed when his marriage to Susan broke up after the birth of their first child . I remember him hanging with Jeff Ament who was in Green River at the time. The early Seattle days.... There has been no mention of his 5 siblings ( other than Peter) or his mother. Why? I can imagine the broken heart Susan Silver also has. Chris clearly adored her strength & talent in those days. His death was a Shocker. I could share other stories about. Chris, but essentially he was just a kind good person who had a hell of a talent .
How sweet is this! He must of been a wonderful Daddy. I feel for his kids. Crappy Dr's & inhumane drug companies. Makes me sick to my stomach. You're at peace now!
He was an addict, he should have NEVER been prescribed those in the first place. Shoulda, coulda, woulda too late now. So very, very sad. When the little boy turned around and I saw his shirt I got teary. I hope this is what they will remember not everything else they hear about their father's death.
Let's see you stay on Ativan or Xanax or any of these other drugs made by the Devil for a number of years and see how you fare. Go back to sacking groceries. Dumbass.
bamaslaten Before you go spouting off an ignorant comment like that one, you should think about how many people these "devil drugs" have helped to lead normal lives, including myself- being on an anti-anxiety medicine for 19 years. And drugs did not kill Chris, his life-long depression did- I'm so tired of you armchair "PsychD"'s that KNOW NOTHING of the subject- it's what I've studied and worked in for years. So you can take that utterly ridiculous comment and piss off. Bloody fool.
Marisa...I will start by telling you and absolutely guaranteeing you that I have a B.A. in Psychology from a real university (not Trump Univ or Univ of Phoenix or some other fake, for-profit "school"). While I absolutely agree that there are medications that have been wonderful and have helped millions of people live better lives, what IS true is that the pharma industry has gone off the rails and is EXTREMELY reckless with their products. They throw out free samples like candy, and place warnings in very small print in a huge packet of research data that 99% of people can't understand. Many of the doctors that I have worked with are pressured to hand out drugs, many times even when they are still considered "experimental", and even many of them aren't 100% clear on all of the possible side effects. Mixing medications and other chemicals affect each person differently, and in Cornell's case, we don't know for certain if this was an intentional overdose because people build tolerances to them, and the person is left to feel that it isn't working as well as it should, so they take more...and then take something else because it hasn't been made clear to them of the dangers (how can they think there is a danger if the doctor prescribed them both?). Calling them "devil drugs" is the part I don't agree with...but the pharma industry has become dirty, and are peddling and pushing these drugs/medications as though they were drug dealers. These drugs are very dangerous, but the industry has done a great job of marketing them as medicines, and giving the impression that you would really have to take a lot of them to do harm, without being more clear that even taking one extra pill can kill you. As someone who has also benefited from these drugs, I can still empathize with the anger that we are losing so many beautiful people because of reckless misinformation and doctors that are making a quick buck passing on medications rather than giving someone actual therapy. The world lost a beautiful person and a beautiful voice, and we are angry because it didn't have to happen. If Chris meant to do this, that of course is completely different, because he would have found a way. But if it truly was accidental overdose...just like in the case of Prince and Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger, and thousands more people...then this is a problem that we should be upset about. I want people to live better lives, to feel more "normal"...not be taken advantage of or treated like guinea pigs. I am glad, though, that you found something that has helped you and worked for you. That should be the only focus of these medicinal inventions. But keep in mind that they are still drugs...just not illegal street drugs, but still controlled because of how dangerous they really can be.
This is so beautifully painful to watch... I saw this (Cary On) tour in Baltimore and he and the band were absolutely amazing live... Chris, wherever you are, know that you were and always will be soooooooooo fucking loved man, and all of us who loved you and were lucky enough to share this ride with you are sorry we couldn't help you pull through. You were a brilliant shooting star and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing music you left for all of us. For your family there just are no words other than this: You were a special man and I am sure they know that you gave all you could until you couldn't any longer...
Geoff K Jeff, remember that date in Baltimore he played moonshower as an improv after someone requested it.. Amazing show I got to meet him after words. I was so starstruck I could barely talk
Yup remember it well, the Ram's Head was insanely packed that night! Was actually fortunate enough to meet and hang out with him in March of 1990 before he became super famous. Soundgarden was the 2nd band on an insane bill featuring Faith No More (pre The Real Thing blowing up on MTV) and Voivod. Just walked backstage at this little club in Lancaster PA (where i live) and hung out with him and Kim, all of us were pretty drunk and Chris kinda poured beer on me which I thought was hilarious at the time. He was absolutely mesmerizing and they blew me away live and fortunately I got to see them several more times (but not enough). It's been a brutal week trying to get my head around this (and I suffer from intense anxiety and depression so I truly feel connected in that way to him) the man was a legend and more importantly, I believe, a troubled but beautiful soul !
Yep you bet !!!! The more I thought about that night, it was Kim that poured the beer on me, not Chris ... Still can't get my head around him being gone.
Rest Peacefully Chris, many prayers and blessings to those beautiful children who lost their father way too young, may they find happiness in their lives and avoid the pitfalls you had growing up, the focus is on them now, God bless
chris's wife vicky said he wouldn't commit suicide because he wouldn't do that to his children, i am thoroughly convinced he had a psychotic episode from the anti-depressant he was taking.
tomitstube He wasn't taking an antidepressant. Honestly the entire thing is Shady as hell. Idc what people say, something stinks with this whole thing,including the way his wife, and her side of the family are acting. You buy it.
dhog 13. it's looking more like chris fell off the wagon, toxicology found several drugs in his system, it's hard to say what combination caused his hanging, the thing that's striking to me is how quickly he made the decision. suicide is an "impulse" action and drugs or alcohol make it easier because they obviously dull your senses, they block out the fear and consequences that stop you when sober. i thought he was sober, i think a lot of people did, he seems to have lapsed and it had devastating results, another thing i learned about the anti-depressant chris was taking, the longer you take it the better the chance of psychosis, producing a more severe depressive state. i'm like you, i'd like a better explanation of what happened.
Chris Cornel didn’t hang himself on a ducking door knob in a hotel room come on people and his best friend would kill himself sameway a few months later on his birthday , you people should meet or do some drugs for a while you don’t want to kill yourself while high especially if you can afford to get mor drugs anytime , either his new wife had him killed are him n Chester rubbed someone the wrong way funding there documentary they were doing on child trafficking, those people are the deepest of the mafia’s and have power over there clientele like no other , how else do people think that Epstein walked out of a federal prison on suicide watch with them claiming he committed suicide nothing to see here people. Look into it there’s something that will get you killed though and number one thing happens to be exposing the worldwide intelligence agencies use of prostitution be it any kind to blackmail the powerful. If a guy is into females a guy can be convinced that a 16 year old female who is into him at a private resort is safe and then boom they own them if people really think that that’s far fetched then shit the earth might even be flat cause you fucks are gullible as shit.
Such a beautiful human. Anxiety, depression, addiction. They are a part of my life, part of me. I feel this loss so intensely. I hope he's found peace. 💕
Oh my heart, those poor babies and his will, I'm so sorry! Please continue to search for answers to Chris's death, I can't believe this was self inflicted! God bless you all! RIP Chris!
Why is it so hard to believe he committed suicide? He had problems with depression, with alcohol...all well known. Its a mistake to call him a god in the aftermath. He was a man like any other and not invincible. I see a lot of "he would never do that" to his kids, etc. You never know whats going on in peoples heads. People can present themselves however they want.
This man would never leave those beautiful children. It's so sad, but this was a terrible accident caused by some horrendous side effects of the prescription drugs. May he RIP and may his children and wife remember the good memories of him.
Who would dare dislike this! I feel for his kids. They must be going through so much pain. My grandad just died too, so this has been a horrible few weeks...
Chris Cornell was an incredible singer. An incredible songwriter. I don't know what he was dealing with when he died, but I wish something could have stopped him. Looking at him singing to his kids here breaks my heart and has me in tears every time I watch it.
You will always be the shape of the hole in MY heart❤️FOREVER!! Look for that black standard poodle of Amanda Love's,the We sat&petting in NOLA.He'll remember you FOREVER,JUST LIKE I WILL!
Rest easy friend....I wish I could have met you. You must not have known how many you helped, through your pain over the years. You, Andy, Layne, Chester, Scott, Kurt....you must all be watching over us now to help! Thanks for everything, you 4 octave god! P.S. The Black Hole Son....ugh the tears
I can not breathe through the tears...but yet somehow have a smile on my face....oh those littles...how very very much they were loved....I hope they keep these sort of moments close to their hearts now through the pain and forevermore....it still hurts my heart soo much...I can't even imagine what they are going through right now 😢😭😢😭
If you are wrestling with it, something to consider about a 52 year old (and I know because I am one) we were raised in a time when you weren't allowed to consider quitting. Emotions, those deep hard ones, were a luxury you'd been guilted out of indulging yourself. A lot of powerful art took its place but the sense of personal responsibility and obligation to others is a sometimes crushing burden. No, you don't tell others the things that you know they wouldn't be able to handle because 1) they'd want to deny the validity 2) you're concept of who you are and what got you this far would take a mighty hit. A great sense of isolation, outrage, and anxiety gets masked by other stuff to protect those one cares about. At 52 you wake up some days feeling every inch the physical and emotional toll it takes to last just this long AND yet you are still inside harboring the 18 year old who could do anything, all the same passions and aspirations are living there but you're like Steve McQueen at the end of the Sand Pebbles "What the hell happened?" And you keep saying "everythings ok, I got it" cause it always was before, and if the body starts to concede defeat there's a nice doctor to help patch you up so you can just keep on going, even give you some extra stuff for problems you didn't know you had, so everything looks normal to those around you who need to think you're ok while the world is starting to wobble and fall apart for you but nobody sees what is going on right in front of them. This is how we lose wonderful people. It's how you end up with unemployment offices full of 50 somethings (there through no fault of their own) who got downsized, and households where one or two people work souless jobs to support couch surfers and cast off grandchildren. All the while feeling somehow, inspite of best intentions and no lack of effort, this is their own fault so they should just suck it up and keep going. People are bound to break. Chris is just an extremely talented and public example of the processes his whole generation are going through at this point. Yes even "artists" have to deal with the industrialized requirements of the business of business and in that sense he couldn't be a whole lot different from anybody else his age. I've been watching it going on all around me and we're not a very sympathetic lot because we all think the same way, with little patience for ourselves or each other, looking at maybe 20-30 more years of SOS (same ole...s***) to deal with. How many times was he going to have to sing Black Hole Sun and play the dancing monkey for us? Heart breaking.
First my heart goes out to his family. I loved this band and his death has my hart still hanging low. Murdered by the industry. Holy devil in the flesh some might believe And they take thine majesty so seriously 'Cause it's the big lies more likely to be believed, believed Lived with the devil died by the fire.
October 2007,, they are ten years older now,,, they are teenagers or close to be,, but he still was just as caring Now as he was Then,,, They had 10 more years with daddy,,, I do not believe it was intentional, (RIP) ,,, no way, NO WAY
When you see something like this, it puts the whole tragedy into some perspective. The world may have lost Chris Cornell, the singer, but his kids lost their father which anyone can relate to. RIP Chris.
If there was ever a moment in time, where the theory that we are all part of a digital video game or digital program has ever remotely seemed as if it could be real even for one second, it would be the death of Chris Cornell. That would be the glitch in the system, his death does not feel as if it should have happened. It feels like if that theory were real, this was a glitch we could all see and look puzzled at.Once you make it to 52, your career has been amazing, you have a family and from the outside everyone loves you and you are just enjoying your success and you are still going strong, you would think your life would be full of love and laughter. Apparently this was not the case and I/we will probably never know what was going on upstairs. I personally doubt some Ativan made him do this so I am left with a thought that makes more sense, maybe he had a serious disease no one knew about but his family(maybe not even them?). Aside from speculating and rationalizing, he is right there with Ronnie James Dio tied at the top of the greatest rock vocalists to ever live. Even beyond that, listening to some of his music while driving in your car doing your daily routine, makes life special. He was next level greatness that only comes along once in a lifetime if your lucky. Luckily his music will remain for us to enjoy and make us feel good in this life. RIP Chris.
Incredible. His voice is 100% on the song, but his attention and love is 100% on his kids. Thank you for uploading this, it was truly beautiful to see!
Love his powerful voice, and lovely to have come across this video. Never met you Chris but am heartbroken for you and your family. I've watched that last show and simply just didnt seem right, compared to this video and all other live songs Chris had done. Just wish we knew how he had been feeling in the weeks leading up to the tragic event
How beautiful. He was so connected to his babies. He even mimics their little dancing. This song, is even more beautiful knowing that Chris set up a charity for children who are in need, the most basic, hunger. Great man, huge loss. I will pass down your art through my own babies, to my own Chris, who is named after the great Chris Cornell.
Oh my gosh, the video is incredibly endearing, remarkable. Immediately obvious is the irrefutable fact that though he is a legend in the music world, he first and foremost is a great dad. He seemed to be such a super person and excelled at being everything to his little "posse" and the kids are just an enamored with him as they were to him. Aside from being an unparalleled talent, he seemed to be a staunch humanitarian and he, along with all three of his children, are beautiful people inside AND outside. I respect Chris Cornell for many reasons, least of which was his amazing voice, empathy and intellect, but also his integrity, intuition, philanthropy. In fact, his most valuable and impressive contribution to this world, as evidenced by those who knew and loved him most, is him being doting, supportive and loving father. By all accounts, he was an exemplary artist, a committed friend and attentive parent who, in countless interviews and articles I've read, remained humble and true to himself, never trying to be someone or something he wasn't. God bless his soul and his family and friends who suffer a tremendous loss. This is clearly a person whose shoes can never be filled by those who knew and loved him most, especially when they graciously share intimate stories and photos of him. A person like Cornell will always remain irreplaceable and his family can be proud of this fact. ❤️
This man loved his kids, his wife, his family.. there is no way that if Chris was in his right mind he would have left them.. my heart breaks for his family.. I am so sad..so damn sad.. Chis was one of the greatest singer/song writers that this world has ever known we are so lucky that he gave us the greatest gift .. his music.. I will miss you eternally... xo
this man had the best heart and best voice....well voice didnt sound like this in later days live but still he was top 3 best ever in his prime...along side maynard and plant
It's always the same; as soon as a famous, gifted artist/actor die by suicide it's not their choice, because they seemed happy, they were nice people, it had to be someone giving them drugs or it's a conspiracy. The many thousands regular hard working non famous people who do the same every year not many care about. Many just see them as cowards who can't cope, or couldn't "say no to drugs". They are not killed by "some conspirators" either. Cornell was one of my absolute favourite artists, his music the soundtrack of my life. The man was obviously depressed, he have had drug problems, no one knows for sure how serious this "relapse" really was. He himself pointed out this problem in a good way in several interviews; about depression, drugs and suicide and how common it is, it's the forgotten silent killer in our modern world. And too few care, because most people never suffered from depression think it's just a matter of "open up" and "reach out and talk to someone, or the healthcare system". I can tell you it's not that easy...many people, even your friends, will back off if you tell them, because they don't know how to cope with this disease. Don't take this as you shouldn't tell anyone if you are depressed, absolutely you should - you need friends caring, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's just not as easy as many believe it is.
May God bless his soul, l don't care what he did wrong, he was a great singer and the only one that has the right to judge him now is God himself. RIP.
His son's shirt was classic reading, "BLACK HOLE SON".
so so cool
I loved it!
Ryan Fairchild. omg that's awesome
That was my favorite!! What a loss for the music world.
Ryan Fairchild I
My heart is broken... so sweet and so sad now... Chris, thank you... why have you gone..?
He's gone because he's a loser! He left those kids fatherless. He was a weak fool! You all make like he was a great man.He was a singer!
Don't be sad, he ain't dead & neither is Bowie, Lemmy, George Michael, Prince, Scott Weiland & numerous other Illuminati celebrities who fake their deaths.

mike johnson not awful, it's wonderful
This is so bittersweet, I just can't stop crying but neither can imagine how devastated this kids are right now.
at least they have memories like this! and places like youtube to see daddy perform for eternity:)
I was just thinking about that!
It's terribly sad, for somebody with a beautiful family to take their own life they must be in a very dark place.

God bless and God rest your beautiful soul Mr. Cornell
I can truly say that I love you and will miss you deeply, and God bless your widow Vicky, and your beautiful children, may their higher power guide them through life to happiness and peace in their souls, may this not destroy them, thank you for sharing Chris with all of us I know I'm better off just knowing of him
kidda74 or have your life taken from you by the ones trusted!! :'(
Smiling and crying at the same time.
Chris was humble despite the fame he had. I knew him in the early days when he was dating Susan Silver whom he later married. One could sense that Chris was a thinker, on the poetic side. I was dismayed when his marriage to Susan broke up after the birth of their first child . I remember him hanging with Jeff Ament who was in Green River at the time. The early Seattle days.... There has been no mention of his 5 siblings ( other than Peter) or his mother. Why?
I can imagine the broken heart Susan Silver also has. Chris clearly adored her strength & talent in those days. His death was a Shocker. I could share other stories about. Chris, but essentially he was just a kind good person who had a hell of a talent .
I think the song Worried Moon on CCs Higher Truth album is about Susan. I want to believe that anyway:)
The smile on his face as his daugher sang a line of the song was priceless. Also, good dad move having both of them with ear protection.
I love how Toni was trying to encourage her brother to wave to the audience hehehe @3:50. Such a sweet and adorable moment with their Dad
Thank you for uploading this! So beautiful.
We will never stop missing you, Beautiful Man with a Powerful Angel's voice. Hope to see you on the other side :(((
How sweet is this! He must of been a wonderful Daddy. I feel for his kids. Crappy Dr's & inhumane drug companies. Makes me sick to my stomach. You're at peace now!
He was a wonderful daddy? He left this earth without thinking about his kids! Yes, he's wonderful! :)
He was an addict, he should have NEVER been prescribed those in the first place. Shoulda, coulda, woulda too late now. So very, very sad. When the little boy turned around and I saw his shirt I got teary. I hope this is what they will remember not everything else they hear about their father's death.

They throw out free samples like candy, and place warnings in very small print in a huge packet of research data that 99% of people can't understand. Many of the doctors that I have worked with are pressured to hand out drugs, many times even when they are still considered "experimental", and even many of them aren't 100% clear on all of the possible side effects. Mixing medications and other chemicals affect each person differently, and in Cornell's case, we don't know for certain if this was an intentional overdose because people build tolerances to them, and the person is left to feel that it isn't working as well as it should, so they take more...and then take something else because it hasn't been made clear to them of the dangers (how can they think there is a danger if the doctor prescribed them both?). Calling them "devil drugs" is the part I don't agree with...but the pharma industry has become dirty, and are peddling and pushing these drugs/medications as though they were drug dealers. These drugs are very dangerous, but the industry has done a great job of marketing them as medicines, and giving the impression that you would really have to take a lot of them to do harm, without being more clear that even taking one extra pill can kill you. As someone who has also benefited from these drugs, I can still empathize with the anger that we are losing so many beautiful people because of reckless misinformation and doctors that are making a quick buck passing on medications rather than giving someone actual therapy. The world lost a beautiful person and a beautiful voice, and we are angry because it didn't have to happen. If Chris meant to do this, that of course is completely different, because he would have found a way. But if it truly was accidental overdose...just like in the case of Prince and Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger, and thousands more people...then this is a problem that we should be upset about. I want people to live better lives, to feel more "normal"...not be taken advantage of or treated like guinea pigs. I am glad, though, that you found something that has helped you and worked for you. That should be the only focus of these medicinal inventions. But keep in mind that they are still drugs...just not illegal street drugs, but still controlled because of how dangerous they really can be.
This is so beautifully painful to watch... I saw this (Cary On) tour in Baltimore and he and the band were absolutely amazing live... Chris, wherever you are, know that you were and always will be soooooooooo fucking loved man, and all of us who loved you and were lucky enough to share this ride with you are sorry we couldn't help you pull through. You were a brilliant shooting star and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing music you left for all of us. For your family there just are no words other than this: You were a special man and I am sure they know that you gave all you could until you couldn't any longer...
Geoff K Jeff, remember that date in Baltimore he played moonshower as an improv after someone requested it.. Amazing show I got to meet him after words. I was so starstruck I could barely talk
Yup remember it well, the Ram's Head was insanely packed that night! Was actually fortunate enough to meet and hang out with him in March of 1990 before he became super famous. Soundgarden was the 2nd band on an insane bill featuring Faith No More (pre The Real Thing blowing up on MTV) and Voivod. Just walked backstage at this little club in Lancaster PA (where i live) and hung out with him and Kim, all of us were pretty drunk and Chris kinda poured beer on me which I thought was hilarious at the time. He was absolutely mesmerizing and they blew me away live and fortunately I got to see them several more times (but not enough). It's been a brutal week trying to get my head around this (and I suffer from intense anxiety and depression so I truly feel connected in that way to him) the man was a legend and more importantly, I believe, a troubled but beautiful soul !
chameleon club?
Yep you bet !!!! The more I thought about that night, it was Kim that poured the beer on me, not Chris ... Still can't get my head around him being gone.
ahhh man that is sooo cute...
Rest Peacefully Chris, many prayers and blessings to those beautiful children who lost their father way too young, may they find happiness in their lives and avoid the pitfalls you had growing up, the focus is on them now, God bless
Bawling for the 6th night in a row...will miss you Chris!!!!! 💔💔💔
R.i.p chris Cornell
omg the tears bro...
protect those little eardrums! haha
Man why the fuck did I watch this...
this makes me so sad
chris's wife vicky said he wouldn't commit suicide because he wouldn't do that to his children, i am thoroughly convinced he had a psychotic episode from the anti-depressant he was taking.
tomitstube He wasn't taking an antidepressant. Honestly the entire thing is Shady as hell. Idc what people say, something stinks with this whole thing,including the way his wife, and her side of the family are acting. You buy it.
dhog 13. it's looking more like chris fell off the wagon, toxicology found several drugs in his system, it's hard to say what combination caused his hanging, the thing that's striking to me is how quickly he made the decision. suicide is an "impulse" action and drugs or alcohol make it easier because they obviously dull your senses, they block out the fear and consequences that stop you when sober. i thought he was sober, i think a lot of people did, he seems to have lapsed and it had devastating results, another thing i learned about the anti-depressant chris was taking, the longer you take it the better the chance of psychosis, producing a more severe depressive state. i'm like you, i'd like a better explanation of what happened.
Same thing happened with Chester, he was black out drunk and alone on Cornell's birthday. It's disgusting what alcohol and hard drugs can do.
Yes I completely agree. Psychotic episode. He had been on a benzo again for a while 😭
Chris Cornel didn’t hang himself on a ducking door knob in a hotel room come on people and his best friend would kill himself sameway a few months later on his birthday , you people should meet or do some drugs for a while you don’t want to kill yourself while high especially if you can afford to get mor drugs anytime , either his new wife had him killed are him n Chester rubbed someone the wrong way funding there documentary they were doing on child trafficking, those people are the deepest of the mafia’s and have power over there clientele like no other , how else do people think that Epstein walked out of a federal prison on suicide watch with them claiming he committed suicide nothing to see here people. Look into it there’s something that will get you killed though and number one thing happens to be exposing the worldwide intelligence agencies use of prostitution be it any kind to blackmail the powerful. If a guy is into females a guy can be convinced that a 16 year old female who is into him at a private resort is safe and then boom they own them if people really think that that’s far fetched then shit the earth might even be flat cause you fucks are gullible as shit.
And I just died a thousand more deaths... 😢
omg, that is so precious!
i have a hard time believe suicide
Such a beautiful human. Anxiety, depression, addiction. They are a part of my life, part of me. I feel this loss so intensely. I hope he's found peace. 💕
I don't think he would have killed himself though if he hadn't had a relapse and been on a bunch of stuff. He was a GREAT DAD
What could have been one of the cutest videos on youtube turned out to be one of the saddest.
Ulfetto Nabolo exactly
Oh my heart, those poor babies and his will, I'm so sorry! Please continue to search for answers to Chris's death, I can't believe this was self inflicted! God bless you all! RIP Chris!
Shaye Fisher search for answers so it never happens again to anyone, sadly we can't bring Chris back
I think there's something more to Chris' death than meets the eye...
Absolutely. No one talks about but it makes zero sense to me
yeah, it's called depression.
Why is it so hard to believe he committed suicide? He had problems with depression, with alcohol...all well known. Its a mistake to call him a god in the aftermath. He was a man like any other and not invincible. I see a lot of "he would never do that" to his kids, etc. You never know whats going on in peoples heads. People can present themselves however they want.
People hide their depression. The drugs took away his inhibition to finally get it over with
He was about to expose child sex something or rather
This man would never leave those beautiful children. It's so sad, but this was a terrible accident caused by some horrendous side effects of the prescription drugs. May he RIP and may his children and wife remember the good memories of him.
I cannot stop crying...
Who would dare dislike this! I feel for his kids. They must be going through so much pain. My grandad just died too, so this has been a horrible few weeks...
I couldn't stop crying watching this video. you'll be missed my friend, Rock on in heaven
This is too sad to watch..I have 2 kids.his struggles were too much
At 00:52 so cute it looks like Toni was copying her dad then the way he smiles are her. So sweet
After watching this I cried because the love for his kids was evident. Great man and a legend.
Chris Cornell was an incredible singer. An incredible songwriter. I don't know what he was dealing with when he died, but I wish something could have stopped him. Looking at him singing to his kids here breaks my heart and has me in tears every time I watch it.
so sad to see that now ...
You will always be the shape of the hole in MY heart❤️FOREVER!! Look for that black standard poodle of Amanda Love's,the We sat&petting in NOLA.He'll remember you FOREVER,JUST LIKE I WILL!
Just teared up at work watching this. so precious
With you. 😢
Rest easy friend....I wish I could have met you. You must not have known how many you helped, through your pain over the years. You, Andy, Layne, Chester, Scott, Kurt....you must all be watching over us now to help! Thanks for everything, you 4 octave god!
P.S. The Black Hole Son....ugh the tears
I can not breathe through the tears...but yet somehow have a smile on my face....oh those littles...how very very much they were loved....I hope they keep these sort of moments close to their hearts now through the pain and forevermore....it still hurts my heart soo much...I can't even imagine what they are going through right now 😢😭😢😭
This killed me. I've lost friends... they couldn't shake it... the meds made things worse... its all so pointless
Duane Falconer yes....so pointless and so crushingly sad 😢😭
EpicAngel Girl I love you kids... but ill kill myself smh
He was murdered
Kelley McCullough still investigating but hopefully they find the fuckers RIP cuz
Toni is the most sweet child I've ever seen
3:34 ...this is so sweet, and 6:15 his cute daughter gives him back the microphone. So wonderful family. Forever missed beautiful soul!
Sweet Father,Great singer...
little toni! 💛 chris definitely passed on his talent to her. god bless his family and his memory.🙏💛🌻
If you are wrestling with it, something to consider about a 52 year old (and I know because I am one) we were raised in a time when you weren't allowed to consider quitting. Emotions, those deep hard ones, were a luxury you'd been guilted out of indulging yourself. A lot of powerful art took its place but the sense of personal responsibility and obligation to others is a sometimes crushing burden. No, you don't tell others the things that you know they wouldn't be able to handle because 1) they'd want to deny the validity 2) you're concept of who you are and what got you this far would take a mighty hit. A great sense of isolation, outrage, and anxiety gets masked by other stuff to protect those one cares about. At 52 you wake up some days feeling every inch the physical and emotional toll it takes to last just this long AND yet you are still inside harboring the 18 year old who could do anything, all the same passions and aspirations are living there but you're like Steve McQueen at the end of the Sand Pebbles "What the hell happened?" And you keep saying "everythings ok, I got it" cause it always was before, and if the body starts to concede defeat there's a nice doctor to help patch you up so you can just keep on going, even give you some extra stuff for problems you didn't know you had, so everything looks normal to those around you who need to think you're ok while the world is starting to wobble and fall apart for you but nobody sees what is going on right in front of them. This is how we lose wonderful people. It's how you end up with unemployment offices full of 50 somethings (there through no fault of their own) who got downsized, and households where one or two people work souless jobs to support couch surfers and cast off grandchildren. All the while feeling somehow, inspite of best intentions and no lack of effort, this is their own fault so they should just suck it up and keep going. People are bound to break. Chris is just an extremely talented and public example of the processes his whole generation are going through at this point. Yes even "artists" have to deal with the industrialized requirements of the business of business and in that sense he couldn't be a whole lot different from anybody else his age. I've been watching it going on all around me and we're not a very sympathetic lot because we all think the same way, with little patience for ourselves or each other, looking at maybe 20-30 more years of SOS (same ole...s***) to deal with. How many times was he going to have to sing Black Hole Sun and play the dancing monkey for us? Heart breaking.
Love the dad moment of trying to impress his son with the mic stand and almost hitting him lol can totally see myself or my dad doing that
First my heart goes out to his family. I loved this band and his death has my hart still hanging low.
Murdered by the industry.
Holy devil in the flesh some might believe
And they take thine majesty so seriously
'Cause it's the big lies more likely to be believed, believed
Lived with the devil died by the fire.
Absolutely adorable. Such a sad sad loss may you rest in peace.
Fuckk!! Why Chris? Why you?
October 2007,, they are ten years older now,,, they are teenagers or close to be,, but he still was just as caring Now as he was Then,,, They had 10 more years with daddy,,, I do not believe it was intentional, (RIP) ,,, no way, NO WAY
When you see something like this, it puts the whole tragedy into some perspective. The world may have lost Chris Cornell, the singer, but his kids lost their father which anyone can relate to. RIP Chris.
Yeah cause he loved his kids. He was murdered
fucking awesome..
If there was ever a moment in time, where the theory that we are all part of a digital video game or digital program has ever remotely seemed as if it could be real even for one second, it would be the death of Chris Cornell. That would be the glitch in the system, his death does not feel as if it should have happened. It feels like if that theory were real, this was a glitch we could all see and look puzzled at.Once you make it to 52, your career has been amazing, you have a family and from the outside everyone loves you and you are just enjoying your success and you are still going strong, you would think your life would be full of love and laughter.
Apparently this was not the case and I/we will probably never know what was going on upstairs. I personally doubt some Ativan made him do this so I am left with a thought that makes more sense, maybe he had a serious disease no one knew about but his family(maybe not even them?). Aside from speculating and rationalizing, he is right there with Ronnie James Dio tied at the top of the greatest rock vocalists to ever live. Even beyond that, listening to some of his music while driving in your car doing your daily routine, makes life special. He was next level greatness that only comes along once in a lifetime if your lucky. Luckily his music will remain for us to enjoy and make us feel good in this life. RIP Chris.
Incredible. His voice is 100% on the song, but his attention and love is 100% on his kids. Thank you for uploading this, it was truly beautiful to see!
Love his powerful voice, and lovely to have come across this video. Never met you Chris but am heartbroken for you and your family. I've watched that last show and simply just didnt seem right, compared to this video and all other live songs Chris had done. Just wish we knew how he had been feeling in the weeks leading up to the tragic event
no one sing like you Chris Cornell, RIP Chris. Hunger strike striking me, cry....
Ouch these videos hurt when I see Chris with his Family.
Black hole son - that little sweatshirt - heart breaking
Damn, thats precious. 😢
I was at this concert in person, and it was even more adorable than it looks on video. He sure loved those kids.
yea, i'm crying,aren't you?
God this just rips my heart out. What a wonderful man and father. Peace be with his family 🙏🏻
this is so lovely, man. Good night, Legend, be in peace
How beautiful. He was so connected to his babies. He even mimics their little dancing. This song, is even more beautiful knowing that Chris set up a charity for children who are in need, the most basic, hunger. Great man, huge loss. I will pass down your art through my own babies, to my own Chris, who is named after the great Chris Cornell.
Oh my gosh, the video is incredibly endearing, remarkable. Immediately obvious is the irrefutable fact that though he is a legend in the music world, he first and foremost is a great dad. He seemed to be such a super person and excelled at being everything to his little "posse" and the kids are just an enamored with him as they were to him. Aside from being an unparalleled talent, he seemed to be a staunch humanitarian and he, along with all three of his children, are beautiful people inside AND outside. I respect Chris Cornell for many reasons, least of which was his amazing voice, empathy and intellect, but also his integrity, intuition, philanthropy. In fact, his most valuable and impressive contribution to this world, as evidenced by those who knew and loved him most, is him being doting, supportive and loving father. By all accounts, he was an exemplary artist, a committed friend and attentive parent who, in countless interviews and articles I've read, remained humble and true to himself, never trying to be someone or something he wasn't. God bless his soul and his family and friends who suffer a tremendous loss. This is clearly a person whose shoes can never be filled by those who knew and loved him most, especially when they graciously share intimate stories and photos of him. A person like Cornell will always remain irreplaceable and his family can be proud of this fact. ❤️
Hits different when you know what the song is about
He adored those kids. I will never believe that he took his own life.
2:32-->When your rock star dad is looking you in the eyes while screaming an epic scream.
This man loved his kids, his wife, his family.. there is no way that if Chris was in his right mind he would have left them.. my heart breaks for his family.. I am so sad..so damn sad.. Chis was one of the greatest singer/song writers that this world has ever known we are so lucky that he gave us the greatest gift .. his music.. I will miss you eternally... xo
damn...imagine being raised in this atmosphere.
this man had the best heart and best voice....well voice didnt sound like this in later days live but still he was top 3 best ever in his prime...along side maynard and plant
Fuck. I can't get over this loss.
this right here looks like a happy man. a very happy man.
How could he? It's still so strange to me.
Heartbreaking and beautiful
It's always the same; as soon as a famous, gifted artist/actor die by suicide it's not their choice, because they seemed happy, they were nice people, it had to be someone giving them drugs or it's a conspiracy. The many thousands regular hard working non famous people who do the same every year not many care about. Many just see them as cowards who can't cope, or couldn't "say no to drugs". They are not killed by "some conspirators" either.
Cornell was one of my absolute favourite artists, his music the soundtrack of my life. The man was obviously depressed, he have had drug problems, no one knows for sure how serious this "relapse" really was. He himself pointed out this problem in a good way in several interviews; about depression, drugs and suicide and how common it is, it's the forgotten silent killer in our modern world. And too few care, because most people never suffered from depression think it's just a matter of "open up" and "reach out and talk to someone, or the healthcare system". I can tell you it's not that easy...many people, even your friends, will back off if you tell them, because they don't know how to cope with this disease. Don't take this as you shouldn't tell anyone if you are depressed, absolutely you should - you need friends caring, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's just not as easy as many believe it is.
OMG .... so freakin' adorable .... I couldn't stop crying watching this one .... so beautiful, so sadly missed
I thought this pain had been washed away but it's still hurting a lot... My heart is broken and this video made me cry again. :'(
SO lovely xxx
Is beautiful, Is a very sad.
I love you Chris Cornell !!!!!
ouch. that broke my heart :-( love you Chris!
No way he committed suicide without leaving a note. That's too dark even for him
My musical hero; RIP
May God bless his soul, l don't care what he did wrong, he was a great singer and the only one that has the right to judge him now is God himself. RIP.
I'm so f'n depressed I feel like I know this man.miss and love him 24/7.
Why am I watching this?! It just breaks my heart!
Too sad for words ,a natural father for sure .rip Chris Cornell xx
