This is getting out of hand as it wasn't long ago Chris Cornell died!!

I LOVE LP and I feel really uneasy about this.

R.I.P Chester and Thank You for your awesome music the past decade and a half

.... Damn ...

There are actual terms and studies that have been done on suicides actually provoking and making it more comfortable for others close to them to do it as well. Many small towns will see "bursts" like this. Considering him and Cornell were friends, there could be something to this. Obviously Cornell had a pill problem that very likely was the cause of his demise, we don't know yet if this is the same situation. I think only a parent of young kids could remotely understand the feelings you have as a parent for them. To do something like this without that influence seems so very hard to believe.

Truth be said, I never cared for their music, but on the flip side, Cornell is one of my all time favorite singers along with Patton. That being said, this is still such a terrible situation and I can only fathom what his kids will go through. My wife's best friends dad killed himself when she was in middle school. It's a major scar that never heals. We can only hope the best for them and one day find peace over it.

I worked with the band in the early 2000s. Sad.
