He was best known as the lead singer in Soundgarden and Audioslave, and also performed the theme song to the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale.

In a statement, Cornell's representative Brian Bumbery said his death was "sudden and unexpected".

It also said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

Cornell died shortly after playing a concert with Soundgarden in Detroit on Wednesday evening.

The show was part of a wider tour and the group had a number of live dates scheduled for later this month.

Sadly another suicide. This emphasizes that no matter how seemingly successful, competent, strong a person, there can be tremendous pain that is not apparent. Be kind.

I'm sorry he killed himself. Depression is a terrible disease which no one deserves to have to cope with.

But if the above is typical he was a tendentious and horrible lyricist with no real artistic insight. Really embarrassingly bad. "Making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel" "Simpsons"

And all you had to do was ignore half to post to get there! You're a child. You are a nasty little moron.

It is respect to an artist to give their work your full attention and your honest response.

Yeah... auto-erotic asphyxiation, just like David Carradine and Michael Hutchence fro INXS. They went before they came.

How bad or bland can one's sex life be if they resort to this kind of entertainment?
