Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell has died, aged 52.

Cornell’s representative Brian Bumbery told the Associated Press that Cornell had passed away last night (May 17). Bumbery said Cornell’s death was “sudden and unexpected”, and no cause has been offered yet.

Just hours earlier, Cornell had played a full, 20-song Soundgarden gig at the city’s Fox Theatre venue.
