IN MEMORIAM | Chris Cornell

Like a Stone is my favourite song by Audioslave, featuring the unmistakable voice of Chris Cornell, who passed away Wed. May 17th, only hours after performing with Soundgarden in Detroit.

I performed a lip sync routine to 'Like a Stone' - complete with choreography and break away wardrobe - at a local LGBT club, back in the day.  I will always love this song and the special performance memory forever attached to it.

By all appearances, Chris Cornell seemed to be fine, but he must have felt much differently when off stage and away from the masses.  It is sad that the way Chris passed away leaves behind so many unanswered questions. How? Why?

How could someone with such talent, wealth and success want all that to end?  As is often the case, we will never truly know.

Here's to remembering the good in Chris Cornell and not the darkness that took him from us at age 52.  He has a voice unlike anyone else and left us with many amazing songs to forever remember him by.

Rest in peace Chris, truly rest in peace.
