Chris Cornell’s death, now ruled a suicide by the medical examiner, has caused ripples of grief and waves of shock in its aftermath. I’m feeling pretty shitty about it, too. Here’s how Twitter responded; KEXP holds an event in his memory tonight at the Gathering Space.
Please join us in the Gathering Space at 5PM for moment of silence & memorial for Chris Cornell. Love to Soundgarden fans, family, friends. pic.twitter.com/tT34pm1NeI

The passing of Chris Cornell is like someone removed the words to your favorite song and replaced them with silence #chriscornell

In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymoreChris Cornell, 1964-2017

Dear, Twitter…
Please put @chriscornell as the head story and not Roger Ailes. I’d like to honor someone that brought beauty.
