Where are you seeing suicide? I hope that's not the case. I understand people have their demons, but there's nothing more selfish in this world than suicide. Cornell was the best vocalist in what I consider the modern rock era. Outstanding voice.
So you're saying
Chris Cornell is more selfish than say, Bernie Madoff? Keep thinking that.

Yeah, I do. Someone's life can't be replaced. Would you rather have your money and assets taken from you or your wife, children, mom, dad? I hate it and feel awful for his family, but if it's true, then I stand by my statement.
You don't know **** about me so slow the 17 up. I have been affected by it and it's the most selfish act you can do.
Let me help you see another possibility
2 different situations. #1 is a lifelong drug addict who has suffered through addiction and depression his whole life. He has been in and out of rehab so much and hurt his parents so much emotionally and financially that his depressed mind tells him that those 2 loved ones would be better off without him. Due to a legitimate disease, his brain tells him that. He doesn't intentionally in that moment seek to hurt them more. Even though I admit the result sucks for those left behind.
#2 is a criminal that breaks into a house, burglarizes it, and then murders a family in cold blood intentionally and with premeditation. With no regard for the impact that has on their other loved ones.
You are saying unequivocally that #1 is the most selfish act possible? Get some perspective before you make a black and white conclusion on something that serious.
ETA: In the Jackson area they just found the body of a 6 year old boy believed to have been taken in the early hours in a carjacking. It would be a shame if that carjacker/murderer did something more selfish like killing himself.

Murder.
Rape.
Child abuse.
Elder abuse.
Domestic abuse.
Genocide.
Terrorism.
I wish people who did these would save the rest of humanity the trouble and off themselves. I wouldn't find it selfish at all.
I disagree with you because many who commit suicide don't have the intent to hurt others.
Sad. Unmistakable voice. 4 octave range.

I just can't anymore...
This one blindsided me. I fricking love Soundgarden. And CC was the ****. I just don't understand. Why would he do this?

Tragic. It's cliche' but it applies here. One of the Top5 most recognizable voices in music. Looking through recent pictures of him he had a drastic change in appearance over the last 2 years. He looked ill in several of his last appearances.
Suicide is usually driven by depression or some other mental illness. If you have never had depression or suicidal dreams and thoughts then you will never understand. People fight and fight until they can't fight anymore. They really believe the world will be a better place without them. They are sick. CC conquered addiction and fought mental illness for a long time. Until you've walked many miles in his shoes you shouldn't be so quick to judge.
He and Brad Delp were my two biggest influences in music. Both decided to take their own lives in their 50's. Delp had a long battle with depression and the internal fighting between he and Tom Sholtz over music rights for Boston's music, combined with failures in his solo career, pushed Brad over the edge. I can't imagine the same scenario for Cornell. He was in the golden age of his popularity. He and Soundgarden were playing to sell-out crowds, I believe he was still touring with Audioslave and was one of the most highly sought-out contributing vocalists of our time.

How so? His career spanned almost 3 decades. Soundgarden and Nirvana and Alice In Chains were the benchmark for the grunge age. He had vocals that are immediately recognizable as being Cornell. His later work with Audioslave gave us some of the most iconic songs from the early 2000's. How does that not qualify? To be the best at what you do. Where you not partial to his music? Do you have an itunes playlist consisting mostly of Lady GaGa and Missy Elliott?
There's no one on this Earth that I would put on the same level as 'God' of anything. There was only 1 person that came close.
Oh Jesus ******* Christ dude. Get over yourself. It's a common ******* expression. No one actually is claiming the guy was a diety.
Perhaps if we had been born in cleveland I would've picked lebron, Kobe had we been born in LA. There's so many to pick from I feel like I'm selling myself short just picking one. They are all so different a pantheon naturally suggests itself.
Jimi, though, obviously gave all.

Top 5 Most Iconic Voices:
I would have to go:
1. Elvis
2. Hendrix
3. Cornell
4. Jagger/McCartney
5. Micheal Jackson (I feel dirty but no one can argue his music was iconic)
Eddie Vedder's voice was recognizable as well but so many people copied it after Pearl Jam went mainstream.
