@Jordan Cz I truly believe that he was,hby???It's just so terribly sad & heartbreaking!!I really loved him,his most beautiful angelic voice was just so magnificent,as well as his fabulous music...He was most certainly indeed, one very beautiful,talented, wonderful man,whom was taken away way too soon!!!He'll never be forgotten!!!#RIPJCB"CC"#VOAG #NOSLYA💙🙏❤️
I'm no conspiracy theorists but when I see suicides carried out via a door or door knob, I question their validity. That would be like trying to drown yourself in a bathtub. I don't believe the brain would allow it.
At my 60's, spanish speaking person , at the bottom of South America, I can say....thank you Chris Cornell for making me believe in music and talent again when i thought everything was lost, you were a gift to this world .......
Chris CORNELL was a truly special person and talented person. I miss him but am grateful for the music that he left for us.I listen to his beautiful voice every day. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE TO SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!
I agree. The same could be said about Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington and Layne Staley. They were born to experience great suffering whilst simultaneously bringing happiness to millions across the world. They were Angels born into human form in order to experience martyrdom in the worst ways. Their spirits are always with us and their legacy continues to bring joy to the hearts of people for the rest of time. All four were beautifully flawed but not defined by their hurt, they were defined with the God given legacy they were blessed with in order to fulfill their individual Earthly prophecies.
Her feelings were completely normal. I recently lost my 23 year old son to suicide and while it makes no logical sense for me to feel guilty... it's still there. It's something that comes with loss by suicide. No matter how much you tried to help the person you lose, you still think about all the scenarios, "I could have done this.... would that have saved their life?", etc. It's a torment that only someone that has been though it understands. My heart breaks for Vicky and the kids. I don't wish this hell on my worst enemy.
I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your son. Please accept my deepest condolences. There’s a special kind of loss with suicide that’s difficult to process (my father committed suicide). My wish for you is to find the kind of specialized support for you to access. Hugs.
Are u kidding? It is so obvious that he was murdered. None of it makes sense there was no investigation nothing. Her first phone call was to their lawyer find out about the money. Money is all that matters to Vicky..
Colleen Bolean benzodiazepines are a bitch. I still take klonopin. It’s so hard to stop. I don’t drink or take anything else. But this is scary . RIP Chris Cornell you are missed.
Yes, Chris never exhibited symptoms of suicidal thoughts, EVER. Kurt, Layne and even Scott did but I’m still affected due to the loss of Chester Bennington as well. He was Chris Cornell’s best friend and couldn’t live with the loss. He committed suicide only 2 months after Chris. 🤍🙏🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🕊
@SLOE RYDER Yes I do agree with your opinion to an extent as Chris had always said he preferred to be in a dark room, coming from a family of 5 siblings, tried PCP at the age of 12 and had a violent father. Personally though, I think Susan gave him the stability he’d never had. I’m not going to comment on his second wife.
tbf Layne just hid away somewhere and wasnt found for a while Kurt openly spoke about suicide but also had a daughter and was at the height of his success when he died
So many of his lyrics just captured my depression perfectly. Seeing him live in concert was one of the greatest moments of my life. He remains one of the greatest talents ever!
I feel similar for my depression, Nicola. I really regret that I never made it to see him live. Treasure the memory in your heart. What a great artist Chris was!
Im also 20 years old, discovered soundgarden a few months ago and just found about this too. Alice in chains, nirvana and soundgarden. My Three favourite bands all lost their leads to the this illness😕
@@LogieT2K Yes, my favourite ‘grunge’ genre band is Alice In Chains. I first saw them back in late ‘93 with ‘Suicidal Tendencies’ opening the act. Never in my wildest dreams watching Layne that he would leave this world less than a decade later. My husband and I went and saw them, I kept the tickets this time, 27/02/14. William Duvall has stepped into Layne’s big DM’s but Kudos to the man for stepping up to the plate.
Chris, I'm 46, and I have spent over 30 years of my life loving your music, and worshipping your once in a lifetime voice. You are so loved, and you will never, ever be forgotten. My heart still cries tears for your loss.... No one will ever sing like you again....
@@debramoss2267 true in a way but the fact is, they should see that the world is on their side. She keeps them in the same bubble of lies that CC was kept in. As painful as it might be, they should be aware that they're not imagining things when they see what their mother is doing both to his legacy and to all the people around him who loved him. She pushed them all away and then claims they don't care about her children. They should know that Chris' life long old friends and the Cornell family care, deeply.
@@debramoss2267 and those kids heard the fights and yelling..screaming that went on. You can't hide it from them..when they grow up they will seek the truth for themselves. I just hope to God Chris and his death, the circumstances are not slowly pushed to the back as time goes by. It needs to be talked about for both ppl who suffer depression and also plain outright injustice of Chris and Chester being suicided.✌
I saw Chris Cornell at Massey Hall in Toronto in 2014 and I will always regard that concert as the best that I've ever seen. When he spoke he was so down to earth , talking about his wife and family, and when he opened up the pipes he brought the house down, literally. It was a sold out show and one that I will always remember. He didn't even have a band, because in short, he didn't need one and he had everyone eating out of his hand. I will never forget his amazing talent, but more than that, I will certainly never forget the way he treated his fans. A true gentleman and unbelievable musician. He is definitely with the angels.
Yeah, you know those druggie rock stars. So down-to-earth as long as it keeps the money and fame rolling in. When they're behind closed doors though...
My heart still breaks every time I remember he's no longer with us. I was depressed the night he died and I had blade to skin ready to leave this world myself. I chose life that night and woke up the next day to learn he was gone. It changed me forever. His music changed me forever. RIP Chris. To this day, no one sings like you anymore.
@@Davidscomix Thank you. Depression is real. I have fought my demons many times and won. So many fight their demons but just can't find the strength to fight anymore. I tell my story to anyone who will listen and try to help others find their own strength, whatever it may be. I appreciate you and your words. Thank you.
@@goddess4083 Depression is VERY real! I have struggled with all my life and it still hurts at times. Because for me, Depression is the emotional pain we find hard to express especially for men. It is regarded as a weakness to talk about your feelings if you are a man. Guys: you really need to talk about what's troubling you! You really need to open up. Holding it in can be dangerous and damaging! Sad to think that the whole subject of Depression is stigmatised...SMH.
@@goddess4083 he would be proud of you. And from how you speak of him, I’d wager maybe his music helped you get through tough times? And while he made he choice he did, maybe it’s less that he “lost” and more that he passed the baton - to people like you, who DID choose life, and are now passing that life on to others 💖
those type of drugs are a usually just a symptom, depression is the true monster... I only hope moving forward society finally removes the stigma from mental health and treats it like any other type of health. Psychedelic research is a good start.
Cameron Jacobs u shouldn’t need drugs or anything to combat depression, the reason become depressed when they weren’t before, is because drugs and alcohol have wrecked their brain causing damage and rewiring connections to where they are not working how they’re supposed to. Best way to make it out is to give up all drugs and alcohol and workout everyday for around 3years or more if it’s serious, and I bet most people will be able to beat it. The problem is, when it’s really bad, people go to the doctor saying I can’t do this, I need something to help me make it through, when in reality, the only way through is forward, and not through drugs if you never needed them in the first place
@@BadBoysHub Oversimplified. Yes there is dual disorder depression but the great majority of MH disorders have no co indicators of substance abuse. Environment and heredity play major parts.
he was not dpressed...Chris was at the pinnacle of happiness in his life...he overcame addiction and was on the path to righteousness....geffen could not have dark secrets exsposed
@@BadBoysHub you really shouldn't comment and esp make a recommendation to fix smtn you clearly dont understand. Everyone who experiences depression hasnt been a drug addict. However, ur right about the daily exercise and working out. Any form of exercise stimulates the mind are releases endorphins. However ppl who experience depression often feel hopeless. How do you expect a person who feels hopeless to feel motivated to do smtn for their own good when the have no hope? Depression is a mental illness. It should be treated as such. Expecting a mentally ill person to alone be the solution to their own problem is not logical. "You cant solve a problem with the same mind that created it"- EINSTEIN
When the woman asking questions compares cancer to addiction as an illness that can relapse, I loved how much she just got how mental health works. As someone suffering with mental health issues this hit me in the feels. I also get how spontaneous mental health can make you and I'm thankful for the people that have helped keep me here
''When the woman asking questions compares cancer to addiction as an illness that can relapse'', she's completely full of sh8t, parroting the nonsense that's been drummed into her head for decades.
Also society doesn’t view addiction as a disease . Cancer - yes. Addiction people still believe is a choice . It’s a genetic disease passed down . addiction is a disease I can’t say it enough . Nobody gets angry at cancer patient for having relapse of symptoms . People reject family members and blame them for relapsing . It’s much more complex then you’ll ever know unless you’re an addict yourself . Or have a loved one . It’s very easy to judge from the outside. It’s not a choice to be born an addict . Yes there is recovery I understand that . Relapse does happen though . Just like with any other disease . Just so sad all around no matter what . We do recover . We do relapse and some make it back to recovery some never do .
@@cotichasecompletely agree. Society is still very judgemental of those who suffer with addiction which is one reason why most recovery groups are anonymous. People don't understand the compulsion/obsession, that horrible voice in your head or cravings. People are unfortunately still very quick to judge through lack of understanding
As a person in recovery, Chris's music played a huge part in me being alive today, I had a gun in my mouth at one point after a relapse and the words of exploder came to my mind after my dog knocked the gun out of my hand"was a daughter of a man that took his life to young, swore she'd never do the same and did just what he'd done" It shocked me back into reality. Been sober since,March 7,2008. Prayers continually to the whole family I believe every word of your interview as truth.
You are amazing! Your dog is amazing! Believe me when I say that I was so close to it (suicide) although it wasn't a gun in my hand but a razor, pills and a kitchen knife. I am terrified of guns! I understand about Chris's music and how it saved you. I feel the same way. To quote Jim Morrison: 'Music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end, until the end...
The official report said that he didn't have a high level of anything in his tox screen. The drug that Vicky mentioned is Lorazepam. It is a mild sedative, prescribed mainly for anxiety. The coroners report stated that the level of Lorazepam in his blood was consistent with his prescription dosage. In other words: He did NOT O.D. on it, and there was not enough in his system to cause him to lose his mind. There were other contributing factors that only Chris knew at the time. The world is a lesser place without Chris Cornell. We will never see such as his musical genius again. R.I.P. Chris. You are sorely missed.
Benzos are extremely misunderstood and most Doctors are Ignorant about them. Whatever they view as mild or non-theraputic dosages WILL effect you In withdrawal If you've been taking them consistently even tiny dosages. Maybe he was already depressed or suicidal but the benzos alone can greatly enhance that. Your brain , nervous system , and gaba receptors don't recover even remotely as quickly or as easily as most guidelines and medical doctors assume they do. It's a shame the medical field Is still Ignorant to this or just dosen't care cuz they're getting paid and kickbacks , and Doctors are drugging and poly-drugging themselves on them anyway so they selfishly deny and downplay side effects as so many die directly from It. Completely corrupted medical association.(especially General practitioners).
@@fawkkyutuu8851 Thank you for this critical information. You are correct about doctors over prescribing whatever the pharmaceutical companies are pushing. I remember when there were certain anti-depressants that caused young people to dwell on thoughts of suicide. Even though the data was there, and it would be obvious to any reasonable person that these drugs were, at least in part, responsible for many young people killing themselves; the big pharmaceutical corporations, and the people in the field(s) of medical care, kept on prescribing these drugs. They were also manipulating the data to falsely show that these anti-depressants were harmless and did not have any bearing on the number of suicides committed by the youths that were taking these drugs exactly the way the doctors prescribed them which was in accordance with the drug manufacturers recommended dosages. After many high profile lawsuits, filed by the victims's families and state Attorney Generals, the drug manufacturers have repurposed these anti-depressants as drugs that are prescribed for nerve pain. The warning labels on these drugs now read something to the effect of: This medication is NOT an anti-depressant. It is intended for the treatment of nerve pain. Use of this (these) drug(s) may cause suicidal thoughts in persons under the age of 25 years. Do Not prescribe this medication to any patient under the age of 25 without close supervision of medical care providers. They are still pushing this poison, only now it is intended for the treatment/therapy of a different condition! Unbelievable! I know this is happening because I have seen the same medication, that was widely prescribed by V.A. Mental Health (to treat depression) for many years, now being prescribed by the V.A. Primary Care Physicians for nerve pain and as an anti-anxiety medication for PTSD! Many of these patients are young people that are returning home, from the hell that is the field of battle, and they need help coping with their day to day lives. It seems the V.A.'s intent is to push them into suicide. Our healthcare system is indeed corrupt. Greedy pharmaceutical companies, and medical professionals, are prescribing these poisons to their patients; knowing full well the harm they are causing to these individuals and society as a whole. Different people react differently to medications that are in common use. What may cause little affect for one person, may have a catastrophic affect for another: This is what you informed me of, and you are absolutely correct. I was looking at Chris Cornell's case from a legal point of view, when I should have been looking at it as a person that may have been done great harm by medical professionals that he trusted. Thank You, again!
Exactly ! Seemed like she didn’t care about his music he didn’t have his girl there to perform for her😕 why wasn’t she there? He was over the marriage definitely and a divorce is deadlier
@@solodolo2794and why did the guys left him alone at the hotel after the show? He was awful at that show and almost fall for two times while singing. And why did the guys NOT return to detroit after hearing about hia passing? And why did they NOT stopped the show when they saw he waa not ok - because they saw it, they realized. Why?
My girlfriend and I saw Chris perform at the 2017 Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, TN on May 7. He blew us away with his voice, absolutely blew us away. You hear it on a recording and just get the chills, but when you hear it live, it changes you forever. That is exactly what he did to us and everyone else that hears his voice. Chris you will be missed.
Conner Buse Me and my Husband Saw that same concert. It was Amazing Just Magical. Chris Cornell was such A Gracious Kind Humble Man. He didn't deserve what they did to him.We Love you Chris Cornell and you will be Forever Missed. Never Forgotten. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend. Justice will come. ❤😞😢❤😇😘
I was dependent on benzos. They are a nightmare to come off. I went into psychosis in the beginning. Then insomnia, seizures, hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal thoughts. Never underestimate benzodiazepines. And they are being given all the time to opioid addicts who are trying to get off. It's senseless.
When you say dependant you should make it clear this wasn’t by choice. You weren’t abusing them. Most people hear that and think oh your problem is that you’re a drug seeker, but it’s not true. It needs to be explained to people that what dependant means is that your body cannot function correctly without it. In fact, so much so you could die. It strips a person from their choice to stop taking them. One has to taper off these “medications”. And sometimes that taper can last years as it’s that difficult to cope with the physical mental and emotional problems that happen when it’s removed. Worst thing is most people develop a tolerance....and most docs don’t WARN people of these consequences of taking them. In my opinion that’s a crime!
@@sonofhibbs4425 This is very true. I was prescribed xanax after PTSD from domestic violence. My doctor never warned me of any side effects. Sometimes I want to blame myself for not doing my own research but it was the doctor's responsibility and she failed. I've learned since not to trust blindly in doctors as they are profiting from the drug companies. You don't know how well they actually do THEIR OWN RESEARCH and where their true allegiance lies. I hit withdrawal tolerance and had no idea what was happening to me. Went to the er and they treated me like a junkie just looking for drugs. It was humiliating. I had to pretty much go it alone except for reaching out to ppl on online benzo communities. My parents tried to understand and did what they could. After several months my senses started returning...this can be terrifying. Also being in a constant state of derealization and dark depression. It's a long process. I still can't follow a paragraph or concentrate on anything for a long period of time. I can say at a little over a year off it has gotten better, but some days i have to check my notes from months ago to make sure.
Addiction should be added to medical training in a huge way!!! It needs it's own portion of the psychology you should be REQUIRED to take in prerequisites to enter Nursing school or any medical profession period and then reiterated there after during training. I worked in the ER. I have worked in a mental health/ addiction treatment services for two years and DD for six. I watched people with mental health issues treated like less than human, drug seeking junkies. I listened to Nurses and doctors talk crap about them on the floor. It should not be tolerated. Period. Remove the stigma!!! Educate the kids in school with CORRECT information.
@@heatherparker2491 maybe you could start your own CZcams channel and get others involved, you've got the knowledge and I'm sure a hundred or more stories that could give information, you could save lives and maybe even teach some of these judgemental people a thing or two what being a real loving caring professional human being is all about. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Me too Scott and stp were my favorite band since 94 ,as well as soundgarden im just glad i got to see them both live well,chris w audioslave anyway Rip legends scott&chris
Weiland, man now his wife, or ex wife, she was absolutely horrible in the things she said after he died....it was kinda shocking! But obviously Chris is totally different kind of person than Scott...I mean, obviously I know either one of em, Chris just seemed like super kind sensitive human being.
Rest In Peace Chris... Whether it was Soundgarden, Audioslave, etc, you helped INSPIRE a whole new generations of hard rock and metal bands... but on his personal level, man! I can’t imagine how his kids feel about the reality of living without a father figure... I feel so horrible for his kids and Vicky, especially Vicky....
People DON’T recognize addiction as a disease. It’s a shame. Everyone gets so pissed off and makes the person feel guilty which just makes it worse. Then after they die the same people say “I wish there was something I could’ve done”.
I can understand that feeling when I really need a help for my drug addiction, the suicide thought, the depression, etc. I'm on it, been through it, and repeat. So f#cking massed up.
@@briandavis7643 what that does have to do with it being a disease though? I always hear this..."addiction is not a disease, it's a choice" who says its not both? You make the choice to use, not to change your brain chemistry. You make the choice to smoke, not develop lung cancer. You make the choice to over eat and not exercise, not suffer from heart problems/diabetes. You can make the choices to do alot of things that result in major health problems or death. Doesn't make them any less a disease. Disease noun. a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment.
Xandra Ann I agree with what your saying. Choice first, then chronic disease. But it is a choice first, not a disease. Chris was an addict that had multiple relapses, and he made what I consider to be a very cowardly choice to end his life and leave his family without a husband and a father.
Definitely agree. You can tell just by looking at her and then add that to everything she and her mother have said and done since he died.. I don't like or trust her one bit. Let's just say I'm sure she wouldn't have called him her soulmate if he were a regular guy with a regular paycheck.
He had been depressed and suicidal since Mother Love Bone. And that medication is a mild sedative, not an antidepressant. It calms you, it doesnt make you crazy.
When you mix Benzodiapines with alcohol the effects will alter your mental status therefore you are unable to make conscious precise decisions like when you're sober.
Gotta disagree on the mild sedative statement. 1. Benzodiazepines are far from mild. They're extremely potent and highly addictive in a very short period of time. Doesn't matter who you are, you take benzodiazepines for a few weeks and you're looking at a tapering schedule. You can't just stop, it messes you up so badly. 2. Benzodiazepines can have a paradoxical effect in some cases, causing extreme agitation, anxiety, depression, and suicidal urges. It's a highly over- and inappropriately -prescribed, life-destroying medication which is used haphazardly by doctors all over the world without any accountability on their parts. Should be criminal. And mixed with alcohol, it suppresses breathing to the point of fatality. A deadly combination and well-documented. Right on the black box warning.
@@bleuskye8124 obviously I don't miss his music because it is still available for me to enjoy electronically. For you to want me to re-word that is not only petty and telling of how small of a person you are, but also a half baked idea that just exposes how apelike your thought process is
He’s still touching lives through his music. God bless his wife and family.The message hits close to home. We need to be supportive of people who are struggling and careful not to enable. If anyone is struggling please ask for help. People do care. You are worth it!!🙏🏼♥️😇
Y'all that are judging her for being cold, you cannot judge someone else's grief. Everyone deals with tragedy differently. You have no idea what she's been through in private. This is like, a 6 minute glimpse into her pain...she's going to have to deal with the loss for the rest of her life. Give her a break.
Unfortunately many people are complete pieces of shit who need to make someone else’s tragedy about them. This woman lost her husband and the father of her two kids, why on earth would she be lying.
If there's anyone that can have the compassion, heart, and understanding of who they're interviewing, it's Robin Roberts. Not a fan of ABC News, but for what she went through and continues to inspire others, I will always support Robin Roberts.

For the rest of you...thanks guys. Any REAL Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan wouldn’t verbally attack another Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan. Knights of the Sound-Table continue riding!
Derrick Bullock He is your basic garden variety conspiracy nut. They are paranoid and angry because they fill their heads with baseless conspiracy bs which triggers the fear response in the part of the brain that causes anxiety ( the amygdala). It’s a vicious feedback loop. Anyway, ignore him, you didn’t deserve that crap. Chris Cornell was a wonderful human being and an unbelievably talented person and had so much more to contribute to music. I am still sad that he is gone.
She feels guilty because she eats narcotics herself. Vicki is lying. Have you found a new supplier yet Vicki? Since yours got busted things have to be rough for you.
As an alcoholic in recovery process i understand the huge pain and desperation an addict can feel that you just want to end your life. It's not just a selfish decision, it's way deeper than that. Big love to the family and Chris. 💙
I agree. It is a way deeper decision than just selfishness. I didn't have a chemical dependency in the traditional sense, but mine is way more available and legal: food. Specifically sweets. When I feel down, lonely, anxious, I turn to sweets.
I can't go a day without drinking it gets old I have become physically sick with it but i also become physically sick without it, and it becomes emotionally draining if I try to stop drinking in the evening I won't sleep good 😢 it's hard and truly is a sickness and yes it can make me feel suicidal but I just have to remember I have a wife and children who need me here even though I struggle just put it behind me as another thing as a man I have to deal with
My heart goes out to his family.. If I'm still having a hard time dealing losing my favorite vocalist of all time.. I can't even imagine what they are going thru.. As a fan we send our condolences to you and we miss this Legend...... R. I. P CHRIS... NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE..🙁🙏
I'm very sorry for your loss, Vicky. I do miss Chris as an artist and it pains me that he didn't make it after struggling and fighting for his life for so many years. The fact that he too was still around although hurting so much gave me hope for my own condition. After he is passed now I feel great tragedy for us addicted and depressive people in the world. But nowhere compared to the tragedy you and your family lived through. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Sending love!
Immediately after his death she called the family attorney about life insurance. I have NO DOUBT in my mind that she had something to do with it. I know if that was my spouse, the first thing I would do is fly out to where he is and get to the bottom of it.
@@rhimorse9 what are you talking about? soundgarden wasn't together when it happened. chris was touring solo with a completely different band. matt, ben and kim were not on a bus together when they found out. where do you get your information?
@@rhimorse9 yea I realized that was soundgarden right after I said that. I must not have had enough coffee before posting. sorry dude. I'm usually not retarded :)

Chris is still with us. You will see. He WILL return. God bless you, Chris & all you’ve done. Your sacrifice saved the lives of countless. You’re a hero!❤️
Four years later, still vividly remember checking my email for updates and seeing the news notification of his death. My stomach dropped and I immediately called my husband, knowing this was going to break his heart.
These interview pieces seem to be just simple damage control. What kind of widow goes public about him having a drug problem and tarnishing his name? They only did this because people have been asking questions.
Because he didn't kill himself. Chester and him were about to a documentary on child trafficking and exposed them . They were murdered. No one will ever make me believe they committed suicide. Another case of someone dying to try to protect children. Very sad.
@@sherrisanders7478 honestly... i think you're right on the money. The fact they found something like 9 broken ribs on him definitely gives reason to believe there was a struggle. This was absolutely not a suicide. And his wife seems very shady.
Tarnishing his name? You do know there are many interviews with Chris Cornell himself openly discussing his depression and drug use. You do know that right? Just type in Chris Cornell speaks about depression and drugs ...Only people asking questions are people on CZcams - have some respect for Chris Cornell.
Sad day when he exited the world, will be missed by all his fans. Sad story, did not see it coming that is for sure, shows you how deep it goes and even when things look great people are suffering on the inside, RIP Chris.
Please don’t forget that Gina. Regardless of whether it’s alcohol or heroin somebody needs daily to function, it’s an illness. I’ve dealt with 2 demons and it took a long time for addiction to be recognised as an illness. All those lives lost, all of the years people have lost due to their illness. Yet there is so much emphasis on people who need dialysis or other health issues and what’s worse about addiction is the affect it has on the brain. That again is rare knowledge. 🇦🇺🕊
when in the end she said "The best Husband, the greatest father, i've lost my soulmate and love of my life" i could not hold tears anymore 😭as when i saw on the fb page the video of their wedding it was painfully sad
This video is about three years old and I’m here in 2021 Chris I miss you man.. but I know you’re here in my big screen TV jamming to your music RIP.. thank you brother my condolences again to the family..
you are sooo right illuminati ,, whe your number is called. you either remove a family member or lose your own life. he chose his own life. same w Chester B.
I believe you I heard the room he was in showed signs of struggle...I think he tried to fight for he's life but lost....and she was left with everything
This was so tragic, I cannot fathom that he is really dead. The loss weighs heavily to me to this day. I will never, ever forget Chris Cornell. RIP love. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Chris Cornell you are truly loved and missed by millions and millions of fans!! Always and forever remembered and never ever forgotten 💝❤️🤘🌹Thank you for your music and your beautiful voice and you being you, such a beautiful talented man!!
Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were murdered by the pedos in the music business. Chris and Chester were going to turn the pedos in. They were found hanging from doorknobs, that what pedos do to scare off others from turning them in. Chris and Chester were heros!!
Don't know the words to describe the sadness of losing a person who sang words I have related to for over twenty years. May God bless his family. I know I am among many who will miss him.
I never got to see Chris perform live, but both my mother and father did. Actually, they bonded over their love for soundgarden on their first date. RIP Chris

@Jordan Cz I truly believe that he was,hby???It's just so terribly sad & heartbreaking!!I really loved him,his most beautiful angelic voice was just so magnificent,as well as his fabulous music...He was most certainly indeed, one very beautiful,talented, wonderful man,whom was taken away way too soon!!!He'll never be forgotten!!!#RIPJCB"CC"#VOAG #NOSLYA💙🙏❤️
CHESTER BENNINGTON and CHRIS CORNELL both hanged themselves after doing a Doco on Child Trafficking "The Silent Children".
Use your brains.
I'm no conspiracy theorists but when I see suicides carried out via a door or door knob, I question their validity. That would be like trying to drown yourself in a bathtub. I don't believe the brain would allow it.
If it's true that CB & CC were in fact working on a Child Trafficking Documentary, I wonder what became of it? What's the status of it's making???
Right!!😭😞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
At my 60's, spanish speaking person , at the bottom of South America, I can say....thank you Chris Cornell for making me believe in music and talent again when i thought everything was lost, you were a gift to this world .......
Very well said
Absolutely 💯
Amen 🙏🙌
Fully agreed.
Thank you Chris , may the Spirit bless your soul.
Greetings from the Banana republic of Argentina.
Amen brother.
The aura that surrounded Chris was almost mystical, like maybe he was an angel
He was one
Chris CORNELL was a truly special person and talented person. I miss him but am grateful for the music that he left for us.I listen to his beautiful voice every day. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE TO SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!
Yes he is one I just saw a channeling of him and it was very telling
Honestly I’ve always thought he looked so much like the pictures of Jesus that we see😔😔😔
I agree. The same could be said about Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington and Layne Staley. They were born to experience great suffering whilst simultaneously bringing happiness to millions across the world. They were Angels born into human form in order to experience martyrdom in the worst ways. Their spirits are always with us and their legacy continues to bring joy to the hearts of people for the rest of time. All four were beautifully flawed but not defined by their hurt, they were defined with the God given legacy they were blessed with in order to fulfill their individual Earthly prophecies.
Her feelings were completely normal. I recently lost my 23 year old son to suicide and while it makes no logical sense for me to feel guilty... it's still there. It's something that comes with loss by suicide. No matter how much you tried to help the person you lose, you still think about all the scenarios, "I could have done this.... would that have saved their life?", etc. It's a torment that only someone that has been though it understands. My heart breaks for Vicky and the kids. I don't wish this hell on my worst enemy.
I lost my son Frankie at 26!! My mind is destroyed!!! God bless
Boyfriend at 27
I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your son. Please accept my deepest condolences. There’s a special kind of loss with suicide that’s difficult to process (my father committed suicide). My wish for you is to find the kind of specialized support for you to access. Hugs.
I am so sorry. I cannot even imagine your pain
Are u kidding? It is so obvious that he was murdered. None of it makes sense there was no investigation nothing. Her first phone call was to their lawyer find out about the money. Money is all that matters to Vicky..

Scott Weiland.
His passing broke my heart. He was a beautiful person. Unlike Kurt and Layne, I didn't see this one coming. It still causes me pain.
Yes, Chris never exhibited symptoms of suicidal thoughts, EVER. Kurt, Layne and even Scott did but I’m still affected due to the loss of Chester Bennington as well. He was Chris Cornell’s best friend and couldn’t live with the loss. He committed suicide only 2 months after Chris. 🤍🙏🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🕊
@SLOE RYDER Yes I do agree with your opinion to an extent as Chris had always said he preferred to be in a dark room, coming from a family of 5 siblings, tried PCP at the age of 12 and had a violent father. Personally though, I think Susan gave him the stability he’d never had.
I’m not going to comment on his second wife.
Look up all the coincidences between his and Chester Bennington's death. Chris definitely was murdered.
Well said
tbf Layne just hid away somewhere and wasnt found for a while
Kurt openly spoke about suicide but also had a daughter and was at the height of his success when he died
So many of his lyrics just captured my depression perfectly. Seeing him live in concert was one of the greatest moments of my life. He remains one of the greatest talents ever!
I feel similar for my depression, Nicola. I really regret that I never made it to see him live. Treasure the memory in your heart. What a great artist Chris was!
I like the way Chris would shake everyones hand when he came on stage. Shows he was a respectful man.
I just found out about Chris last year I’m 20 and he has helped me through tough times if he only knew how much he was missed rip Chris
Dude same, I just barely found out about his death 5 mins ago, I'm also 20, I had no idea he died, I am shocked !!
Im also 20 years old, discovered soundgarden a few months ago and just found about this too. Alice in chains, nirvana and soundgarden. My Three favourite bands all lost their leads to the this illness😕
Same Man I discovered Audioslave first when the Quarantine started it was around March 2020
@@LogieT2K Yes, my favourite ‘grunge’ genre band is Alice In Chains.
I first saw them back in late ‘93 with ‘Suicidal Tendencies’ opening the act. Never in my wildest dreams watching Layne that he would leave this world less than a decade later.
My husband and I went and saw them, I kept the tickets this time, 27/02/14.
William Duvall has stepped into Layne’s big DM’s but Kudos to the man for stepping up to the plate.
Chris, I'm 46, and I have spent over 30 years of my life loving your music, and worshipping your once in a lifetime voice. You are so loved, and you will never, ever be forgotten. My heart still cries tears for your loss....
No one will ever sing like you again....

those poor children have to live with this woman. Don't forget what they have to go through with her every day
@@aprilized Yes, absolutely. It is enough for them without the extra burden of cruel opinions. Couldn't agree with you more.
@@debramoss2267 true in a way but the fact is, they should see that the world is on their side. She keeps them in the same bubble of lies that CC was kept in. As painful as it might be, they should be aware that they're not imagining things when they see what their mother is doing both to his legacy and to all the people around him who loved him. She pushed them all away and then claims they don't care about her children. They should know that Chris' life long old friends and the Cornell family care, deeply.
@@aprilized yes, you are right.
@@debramoss2267 and those kids heard the fights and yelling..screaming that went on. You can't hide it from them..when they grow up they will seek the truth for themselves. I just hope to God Chris and his death, the circumstances are not slowly pushed to the back as time goes by. It needs to be talked about for both ppl who suffer depression and also plain outright injustice of Chris and Chester being suicided.✌
I saw Chris Cornell at Massey Hall in Toronto in 2014 and I will always regard that concert as the best that I've ever seen. When he spoke he was so down to earth , talking about his wife and family, and when he opened up the pipes he brought the house down, literally. It was a sold out show and one that I will always remember. He didn't even have a band, because in short, he didn't need one and he had everyone eating out of his hand. I will never forget his amazing talent, but more than that, I will certainly never forget the way he treated his fans. A true gentleman and unbelievable musician. He is definitely with the angels.
John LaTour
The venue literally collapsed?
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, you know those druggie rock stars. So down-to-earth as long as it keeps the money and fame rolling in. When they're behind closed doors though...
John LaTour Even his last concert & flaws from being under the influence , he was better than those with studio autotune.
Choco Manger What do you know nothing.Chris Cornell was the real deal. That's why he was Murdered. Justice for Chris Cornell.♥😞😘❤
My heart still breaks every time I remember he's no longer with us. I was depressed the night he died and I had blade to skin ready to leave this world myself. I chose life that night and woke up the next day to learn he was gone. It changed me forever. His music changed me forever. RIP Chris. To this day, no one sings like you anymore.
He was murdered
I’m proud of you, I hope you continue to live on and keep fighting. Although I don’t know you I have a lot of respect for you
@@Davidscomix Thank you. Depression is real. I have fought my demons many times and won. So many fight their demons but just can't find the strength to fight anymore. I tell my story to anyone who will listen and try to help others find their own strength, whatever it may be. I appreciate you and your words. Thank you.
@@goddess4083 Depression is VERY real! I have struggled with all my life and it still hurts at times. Because for me, Depression is the emotional pain we find hard to express especially for men. It is regarded as a weakness to talk about your feelings if you are a man. Guys: you really need to talk about what's troubling you! You really need to open up. Holding it in can be dangerous and damaging! Sad to think that the whole subject of Depression is stigmatised...SMH.
@@goddess4083 he would be proud of you. And from how you speak of him, I’d wager maybe his music helped you get through tough times? And while he made he choice he did, maybe it’s less that he “lost” and more that he passed the baton - to people like you, who DID choose life, and are now passing that life on to others 💖
He was much thinner than I have ever seen him right before his death. He was not well. Beautiful man, beautiful soul. RIP.
The severe depression he battled is only understood by those who have been there. It's the darkest of places.
those type of drugs are a usually just a symptom, depression is the true monster... I only hope moving forward society finally removes the stigma from mental health and treats it like any other type of health. Psychedelic research is a good start.
Cameron Jacobs u shouldn’t need drugs or anything to combat depression, the reason become depressed when they weren’t before, is because drugs and alcohol have wrecked their brain causing damage and rewiring connections to where they are not working how they’re supposed to. Best way to make it out is to give up all drugs and alcohol and workout everyday for around 3years or more if it’s serious, and I bet most people will be able to beat it. The problem is, when it’s really bad, people go to the doctor saying I can’t do this, I need something to help me make it through, when in reality, the only way through is forward, and not through drugs if you never needed them in the first place
@@BadBoysHub Oversimplified. Yes there is dual disorder depression but the great majority of MH disorders have no co indicators of substance abuse. Environment and heredity play major parts.
he was not dpressed...Chris was at the pinnacle of happiness in his life...he overcame addiction and was on the path to righteousness....geffen could not have dark secrets exsposed
@@BadBoysHub you really shouldn't comment and esp make a recommendation to fix smtn you clearly dont understand. Everyone who experiences depression hasnt been a drug addict. However, ur right about the daily exercise and working out. Any form of exercise stimulates the mind are releases endorphins. However ppl who experience depression often feel hopeless. How do you expect a person who feels hopeless to feel motivated to do smtn for their own good when the have no hope? Depression is a mental illness. It should be treated as such. Expecting a mentally ill person to alone be the solution to their own problem is not logical.

When the woman asking questions compares cancer to addiction as an illness that can relapse, I loved how much she just got how mental health works. As someone suffering with mental health issues this hit me in the feels. I also get how spontaneous mental health can make you and I'm thankful for the people that have helped keep me here
You’re strong man
The interviewer (Robin Roberts) has had cancer. So she understands sickness firsthand. That’s why it make sense to her to make that comparison.
''When the woman asking questions compares cancer to addiction as an illness that can relapse'', she's completely full of sh8t, parroting the nonsense that's been drummed into her head for decades.
Also society doesn’t view addiction as a disease . Cancer - yes. Addiction people still believe is a choice . It’s a genetic disease passed down . addiction is a disease I can’t say it enough .
Nobody gets angry at cancer patient for having relapse of symptoms . People reject family members and blame them for relapsing . It’s much more complex then you’ll ever know unless you’re an addict yourself . Or have a loved one .
It’s very easy to judge from the outside.
It’s not a choice to be born an addict . Yes there is recovery I understand that . Relapse does happen though . Just like with any other disease . Just so sad all around no matter what . We do recover . We do relapse and some make it back to recovery some never do .
@@cotichasecompletely agree. Society is still very judgemental of those who suffer with addiction which is one reason why most recovery groups are anonymous. People don't understand the compulsion/obsession, that horrible voice in your head or cravings. People are unfortunately still very quick to judge through lack of understanding
Chris's voice is legendary. His voice was so beautifully unique and his death along with Chester's death was heartbreaking.
Ms. Roberts is a class act. Intelligent and compassionate. Thank you, ma'am.
As a person in recovery, Chris's music played a huge part in me being alive today, I had a gun in my mouth at one point after a relapse and the words of exploder came to my mind after my dog knocked the gun out of my hand"was a daughter of a man that took his life to young, swore she'd never do the same and did just what he'd done"
It shocked me back into reality.
Been sober since,March 7,2008.
Prayers continually to the whole family
I believe every word of your interview as truth.
You are amazing! Your dog is amazing! Believe me when I say that I was so close to it (suicide) although it wasn't a gun in my hand but a razor, pills and a kitchen knife. I am terrified of guns!
I understand about Chris's music and how it saved you. I feel the same way. To quote Jim Morrison:
'Music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end, until the end...
The 7th of March is my date of birth. It may sound silly, but I'm happy that such a date is a positive one for you.
As for me, I'm still struggling.
The official report said that he didn't have a high level of anything in his tox screen. The drug that Vicky mentioned is Lorazepam. It is a mild sedative, prescribed mainly for anxiety. The coroners report stated that the level of Lorazepam in his blood was consistent with his prescription dosage. In other words: He did NOT O.D. on it, and there was not enough in his system to cause him to lose his mind. There were other contributing factors that only Chris knew at the time. The world is a lesser place without Chris Cornell. We will never see such as his musical genius again. R.I.P. Chris. You are sorely missed.
Benzos are extremely misunderstood and most Doctors are Ignorant about them. Whatever they view as mild or non-theraputic dosages WILL effect you In withdrawal If you've been taking them consistently even tiny dosages. Maybe he was already depressed or suicidal but the benzos alone can greatly enhance that. Your brain , nervous system , and gaba receptors don't recover even remotely as quickly or as easily as most guidelines and medical doctors assume they do. It's a shame the medical field Is still Ignorant to this or just dosen't care cuz they're getting paid and kickbacks , and Doctors are drugging and poly-drugging themselves on them anyway so they selfishly deny and downplay side effects as so many die directly from It. Completely corrupted medical association.(especially General practitioners).
@@fawkkyutuu8851 Thank you for this critical information. You are correct about doctors over prescribing whatever the pharmaceutical companies are pushing. I remember when there were certain anti-depressants that caused young people to dwell on thoughts of suicide. Even though the data was there, and it would be obvious to any reasonable person that these drugs were, at least in part, responsible for many young people killing themselves; the big pharmaceutical corporations, and the people in the field(s) of medical care, kept on prescribing these drugs. They were also manipulating the data to falsely show that these anti-depressants were harmless and did not have any bearing on the number of suicides committed by the youths that were taking these drugs exactly the way the doctors prescribed them which was in accordance with the drug manufacturers recommended dosages. After many high profile lawsuits, filed by the victims's families and state Attorney Generals, the drug manufacturers have repurposed these anti-depressants as drugs that are prescribed for nerve pain. The warning labels on these drugs now read something to the effect of: This medication is NOT an anti-depressant. It is intended for the treatment of nerve pain. Use of this (these) drug(s) may cause suicidal thoughts in persons under the age of 25 years. Do Not prescribe this medication to any patient under the age of 25 without close supervision of medical care providers.
They are still pushing this poison, only now it is intended for the treatment/therapy of a different condition! Unbelievable! I know this is happening because I have seen the same medication, that was widely prescribed by V.A. Mental Health (to treat depression) for many years, now being prescribed by the V.A. Primary Care Physicians for nerve pain and as an anti-anxiety medication for PTSD! Many of these patients are young people that are returning home, from the hell that is the field of battle, and they need help coping with their day to day lives. It seems the V.A.'s intent is to push them into suicide.
Our healthcare system is indeed corrupt. Greedy pharmaceutical companies, and medical professionals, are prescribing these poisons to their patients; knowing full well the harm they are causing to these individuals and society as a whole.
Different people react differently to medications that are in common use. What may cause little affect for one person, may have a catastrophic affect for another: This is what you informed me of, and you are absolutely correct. I was looking at Chris Cornell's case from a legal point of view, when I should have been looking at it as a person that may have been done great harm by medical professionals that he trusted.
Thank You, again!
Murder.

Exactly ! Seemed like she didn’t care about his music he didn’t have his girl there to perform for her😕 why wasn’t she there? He was over the marriage definitely and a divorce is deadlier
@@solodolo2794and why did the guys left him alone at the hotel after the show? He was awful at that show and almost fall for two times while singing. And why did the guys NOT return to detroit after hearing about hia passing? And why did they NOT stopped the show when they saw he waa not ok - because they saw it, they realized. Why?
The most tragic loss for his family and us his fans there will never be another like him
My girlfriend and I saw Chris perform at the 2017 Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, TN on May 7. He blew us away with his voice, absolutely blew us away. You hear it on a recording and just get the chills, but when you hear it live, it changes you forever. That is exactly what he did to us and everyone else that hears his voice.

You never know how much you love someone till they’re gone...don’t take anyone or anything for granted.
NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE
How did she know to tell him the door was bolted and break the door. It just never did add up to me
I was dependent on benzos. They are a nightmare to come off. I went into psychosis in the beginning. Then insomnia, seizures, hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal thoughts. Never underestimate benzodiazepines. And they are being given all the time to opioid addicts who are trying to get off. It's senseless.
When you say dependant you should make it clear this wasn’t by choice. You weren’t abusing them. Most people hear that and think oh your problem is that you’re a drug seeker, but it’s not true. It needs to be explained to people that what dependant means is that your body cannot function correctly without it. In fact, so much so you could die. It strips a person from their choice to stop taking them. One has to taper off these “medications”. And sometimes that taper can last years as it’s that difficult to cope with the physical mental and emotional problems that happen when it’s removed.
Worst thing is most people develop a tolerance....and most docs don’t WARN people of these consequences of taking them.
In my opinion that’s a crime!
@@sonofhibbs4425 This is very true. I was prescribed xanax after PTSD from domestic violence. My doctor never warned me of any side effects. Sometimes I want to blame myself for not doing my own research but it was the doctor's responsibility and she failed. I've learned since not to trust blindly in doctors as they are profiting from the drug companies. You don't know how well they actually do THEIR OWN RESEARCH and where their true allegiance lies. I hit withdrawal tolerance and had no idea what was happening to me. Went to the er and they treated me like a junkie just looking for drugs. It was humiliating. I had to pretty much go it alone except for reaching out to ppl on online benzo communities. My parents tried to understand and did what they could. After several months my senses started returning...this can be terrifying. Also being in a constant state of derealization and dark depression. It's a long process. I still can't follow a paragraph or concentrate on anything for a long period of time. I can say at a little over a year off it has gotten better, but some days i have to check my notes from months ago to make sure.
Addiction should be added to medical training in a huge way!!! It needs it's own portion of the psychology you should be REQUIRED to take in prerequisites to enter Nursing school or any medical profession period and then reiterated there after during training. I worked in the ER. I have worked in a mental health/ addiction treatment services for two years and DD for six. I watched people with mental health issues treated like less than human, drug seeking junkies. I listened to Nurses and doctors talk crap about them on the floor. It should not be tolerated. Period. Remove the stigma!!! Educate the kids in school with CORRECT information.
I went through hell getting clean from Xanax psychosis no sleep for a week anxiety from hell its horrible
@@heatherparker2491 maybe you could start your own CZcams channel and get others involved, you've got the knowledge and I'm sure a hundred or more stories that could give information, you could save lives and maybe even teach some of these judgemental people a thing or two what being a real loving caring professional human being is all about.

People DON’T recognize addiction as a disease. It’s a shame. Everyone gets so pissed off and makes the person feel guilty which just makes it worse. Then after they die the same people say “I wish there was something I could’ve done”.
He was not doing dope
I can understand that feeling when I really need a help for my drug addiction, the suicide thought, the depression, etc. I'm on it, been through it, and repeat. So f#cking massed up.
Ben Longwell addiction is a choice. Or at least that’s how it starts.
@@briandavis7643 what that does have to do with it being a disease though? I always hear this..."addiction is not a disease, it's a choice" who says its not both? You make the choice to use, not to change your brain chemistry. You make the choice to smoke, not develop lung cancer. You make the choice to over eat and not exercise, not suffer from heart problems/diabetes. You can make the choices to do alot of things that result in major health problems or death. Doesn't make them any less a disease.
Disease
noun. a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment.
Xandra Ann I agree with what your saying. Choice first, then chronic disease. But it is a choice first, not a disease. Chris was an addict that had multiple relapses, and he made what I consider to be a very cowardly choice to end his life and leave his family without a husband and a father.
There is something about her that doesn't sit right. Chris was a new soul, sensitive, and artistic. Such a tragedy. RIP dude.
Trust your gut . Handler .
Completely agree.
Definitely agree. You can tell just by looking at her and then add that to everything she and her mother have said and done since he died.. I don't like or trust her one bit. Let's just say I'm sure she wouldn't have called him her soulmate if he were a regular guy with a regular paycheck.

He had been depressed and suicidal since Mother Love Bone. And that medication is a mild sedative, not an antidepressant. It calms you, it doesnt make you crazy.
Finally someone who knew MLB
When you mix Benzodiapines with alcohol the effects will alter your mental status therefore you are unable to make conscious precise decisions like when you're sober.
Gotta disagree on the mild sedative statement. 1. Benzodiazepines are far from mild. They're extremely potent and highly addictive in a very short period of time. Doesn't matter who you are, you take benzodiazepines for a few weeks and you're looking at a tapering schedule. You can't just stop, it messes you up so badly.
2. Benzodiazepines can have a paradoxical effect in some cases, causing extreme agitation, anxiety, depression, and suicidal urges.
It's a highly over- and inappropriately -prescribed, life-destroying medication which is used haphazardly by doctors all over the world without any accountability on their parts. Should be criminal.
And mixed with alcohol, it suppresses breathing to the point of fatality. A deadly combination and well-documented. Right on the black box warning.

Won't you feel even Dumber than you already are when Justice comes for Chris. Go to another channel where some one else you can annoy. Chris Cornell is in Heaven. We Love you Chris
♥😢😇♥ 😠
Murdered? Oh, for God's sake...
For the rest of you...thanks guys. Any REAL Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan wouldn’t verbally attack another Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan. Knights of the Sound-Table continue riding!
Derrick Bullock He is your basic garden variety conspiracy nut. They are paranoid and angry because they fill their heads with baseless conspiracy bs which triggers the fear response in the part of the brain that causes anxiety ( the amygdala). It’s a vicious feedback loop. Anyway, ignore him, you didn’t deserve that crap. Chris Cornell was a wonderful human being and an unbelievably talented person and had so much more to contribute to music. I am still sad that he is gone.
She feels guilty because she eats narcotics herself. Vicki is lying. Have you found a new supplier yet Vicki? Since yours got busted things have to be rough for you.
music will never be the same without Chris and Chester bennington
Christina Buckholt You got that right!!
not so much Chester but definitely Cornell
yeah chester wasnt really a loss
yeah is sucks when people die but chester isnt a huge loss to the musical world. He was in a joke band. having said that rip
You do realize that Paul Walker, Chester, and Chris all worked for the Clinton foundation in Haiti!
This still tears me up. Not cause I knew him, but because I sang his songs with gut and heart. As they are meant to be sung .
As an alcoholic in recovery process i understand the huge pain and desperation an addict can feel that you just want to end your life. It's not just a selfish decision, it's way deeper than that. Big love to the family and Chris. 💙
I agree. It is a way deeper decision than just selfishness. I didn't have a chemical dependency in the traditional sense, but mine is way more available and legal: food. Specifically sweets. When I feel down, lonely, anxious, I turn to sweets.
I can't go a day without drinking it gets old I have become physically sick with it but i also become physically sick without it, and it becomes emotionally draining if I try to stop drinking in the evening I won't sleep good 😢 it's hard and truly is a sickness and yes it can make me feel suicidal but I just have to remember I have a wife and children who need me here even though I struggle just put it behind me as another thing as a man I have to deal with
How can you reasonably say that anyone has "the mental capacity" to leave this world?
You can't reasonably say it. What a crackhead.
@@Janellabelle yes you can! I'm not a "crackhead" and I've been ready to die for a long time. I pray my end is soon.
@Corby Dinzen thank you.
My heart goes out to his family.. If I'm still having a hard time dealing losing my favorite vocalist of all time.. I can't even imagine what they are going thru.. As a fan we send our condolences to you and we miss this Legend...... R. I. P CHRIS... NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE..🙁🙏
I was lucky enough to have had seen this man do a solo acoustic show in 2016. This loss was tenfold to his band and family. RIP.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Vicky. I do miss Chris as an artist and it pains me that he didn't make it after struggling and fighting for his life for so many years. The fact that he too was still around although hurting so much gave me hope for my own condition. After he is passed now I feel great tragedy for us addicted and depressive people in the world.
But nowhere compared to the tragedy you and your family lived through. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Sending love!
Immediately after his death she called the family attorney about life insurance. I have NO DOUBT in my mind that she had something to do with it. I know if that was my spouse, the first thing I would do is fly out to where he is and get to the bottom of it.
And got a nose job, as you do
And someone immediately posted it on facebook, that's how matt, ben and kim found out about chris' death. When they were on the bus
@@rhimorse9 what are you talking about? soundgarden wasn't together when it happened. chris was touring solo with a completely different band. matt, ben and kim were not on a bus together when they found out. where do you get your information?
@@VaughnBrown1965 touring solo???? ok blud.
@@rhimorse9 yea I realized that was soundgarden right after I said that. I must not have had enough coffee before posting. sorry dude. I'm usually not retarded :)
Mental illness can hit anyone but the treatments themselves are even more painful
Speaking from experience
Chris Cornell RIP
I agree 100%
My heart goes out to all addict's . And the people on the other side. Chris will be in my thoughts and prayers. Prayers for the Kids. RIP CHRIS .
Love this guy.. Legend. I work in recovery field. Addiction is a life long battle.
The voice of a generation!!!!! Thankful that I had the opportunity to see his genius and hear the voice live! RIP
Your are missed Chris. I always looked for your voice in times of darkness. RIP
Condolences and Prayers to his family.. I know it's been a while. This is still hard even as a music listener.
i´m a 37yd grown up man and i´m crying like a baby watching this.. we miss u so much Chris! Blessing´s for the family!
Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog were my high school youth, when I heard Chris Cornell had passed, it hit me really hard, I still can't believe he's gone, Say Hello 2 Heaven is one of my all-time favorites, rest in peace Chris and God Bless your children, you are deeply missed
Something just doesn’t feel right listening to her. 3 years later and she shunned his oldest daughter, shunned Soundgarden and is trying to get every penny of his estate. #greed
What a bitch
Pete Helfrich oath
@@antiquerosie3409 maybe he wasn't killed by the illuminati but how do you know that they don't exist. Have you never heard of a cult?

A lot believe Chr.is and his friend Ch ester Benn.ington (spit of J.ohn Pode.sta) too were going to do some documentary on piz.za gate and they were si.lenced just like Avic.ii was. Check videos & comments on these too:

People are waking up to the truth and the cover ups and the truth will out.
There may be hidden meaning in this song.
Chris is still with us. You will see. He WILL return. God bless you, Chris & all you’ve done. Your sacrifice saved the lives of countless. You’re a hero!❤️
Four years later, still vividly remember checking my email for updates and seeing the news notification of his death. My stomach dropped and I immediately called my husband, knowing this was going to break his heart.
These interview pieces seem to be just simple damage control. What kind of widow goes public about him having a drug problem and tarnishing his name? They only did this because people have been asking questions.
Because he didn't kill himself. Chester and him were about to a documentary on child trafficking and exposed them . They were murdered. No one will ever make me believe they committed suicide. Another case of someone dying to try to protect children. Very sad.
@@sherrisanders7478 honestly... i think you're right on the money. The fact they found something like 9 broken ribs on him definitely gives reason to believe there was a struggle. This was absolutely not a suicide. And his wife seems very shady.
...and at 4:30 a large lump on the back of his head?
Tarnishing his name? You do know there are many interviews with Chris Cornell himself openly discussing his depression and drug use. You do know that right? Just type in Chris Cornell speaks about depression and drugs ...Only people asking questions are people on CZcams - have some respect for Chris Cornell.
@@espo1898
OMG I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HER!!
Why does it look like she is interviewing Lady Gaga dressed like Vickie?
omg she does
Omfg...I thought the same!...
Sad day when he exited the world, will be missed by all his fans. Sad story, did not see it coming that is for sure, shows you how deep it goes and even when things look great people are suffering on the inside, RIP Chris.
How true that is. 💜
2023 and still R.I.P Chris Cornell those who remembers you, love you so much.
Thank you for reminding me that addiction is an illness. No judgment, just love. Such a tragic end for this beautiful family.
Please don’t forget that Gina. Regardless of whether it’s alcohol or heroin somebody needs daily to function, it’s an illness.
I’ve dealt with 2 demons and it took a long time for addiction to be recognised as an illness.
All those lives lost, all of the years people have lost due to their illness. Yet there is so much emphasis on people who need dialysis or other health issues and what’s worse about addiction is the affect it has on the brain. That again is rare knowledge. 🇦🇺🕊
Vicky,you may be one of the reasons,Chris didn't tell you the truth. You just admitted,you yourself stigmatize addicts. RIP,Chris.
That bitch was drugging him
@Montravius Daniel Vicky loved his money n status , That's All
@@debbiejensen4733 true . She never love him. . She Is in court with sanudgardem ,for more money.
Chris was a gift to the world, may his music words live on in us.
when in the end she said "The best Husband, the greatest father, i've lost my soulmate and love of my life" i could not hold tears anymore 😭as when i saw on the fb page the video of their wedding it was painfully sad
R. I.P. Chris,...though your body is gone your music lives on for ages.
It sucks I found your music after you had already passed but thank you for your music you left with us with it'll keep your legacy & memory alive 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks to Chris for his gift of music. 🙏
My heart really goes out to her and everyone struggling with addiction
Rip Chris, you died on my birthday. I’ll have a drink for you every year! Greatest voice in my opinion.
Well you understand my pain then. Because Kurt Cobain and also Layne Staley died on my Birthday ... it was the official day when Seattle died..
May 17 is also my birthday. It was a hard one that year.
His music changed my life. I miss him and still struggle with the tremendous loss we all have. But his music, and beautiful Family lives on
This video is about three years old and I’m here in 2021 Chris I miss you man.. but I know you’re here in my big screen TV jamming to your music RIP.. thank you brother my condolences again to the family..
Prayers, love and Light
somehow, I knew how this interview was going to go before any words spoken. All the answers are in Chris's lyrics, nuff said
He was a sacrifice, he knew it was coming, but he fought for his life. He wasn't ready to leave his kids behind.
you are sooo right illuminati ,, whe your number is called. you either remove a family member or lose your own life. he chose his own life. same w Chester B.
What?
I believe you I heard the room he was in showed signs of struggle...I think he tried to fight for he's life but lost....and she was left with everything
@@monicaortiz7331 and he happened to have one of those hiking hook things in his luggage? Wow, how convenient to hang himself. I don't buy it at all.
Yes, not many know or believe this.
This was so tragic, I cannot fathom that he is really dead. The loss weighs heavily to me to this day. I will never, ever forget Chris Cornell. RIP love. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Chris Cornell you are truly loved and missed by millions and millions of fans!! Always and forever remembered and never ever forgotten 💝❤️🤘🌹Thank you for your music and your beautiful voice and you being you, such a beautiful talented man!!
Chris's voice and his lyrical ability was sheer brilliance. I miss him.
What a loss- such a beautiful soul.
Even now it still breaks my heart that this man has gone from our lives.
Such a beautiful voice, thank you for all of the beautiful music before you left. 💜RIP
The autopsy guy said he didn't have any lethal doses of anything in his blood that night.
Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were murdered by the pedos in the music business. Chris and Chester were going to turn the pedos in. They were found hanging from doorknobs, that what pedos do to scare off others from turning them in. Chris and Chester were heros!!
Nonconcensusical it seems interesting. can you give me a source to read this theory?
@@abigail5274 sure, but it will reek of feces.
F ukin rite
@@gyro5d I heard about Chester saying he was molested but never heard that about cornell
I miss him something awful! So sad to know we who loved Chris Cornell will never get to experience that one of a kind, magnificent voice.... RIP
Don't know the words to describe the sadness of losing a person who sang words I have related to for over twenty years. May God bless his family. I know I am among many who will miss him.
I never got to see Chris perform live, but both my mother and father did. Actually, they bonded over their love for soundgarden on their first date. RIP Chris
A few listenings of his last studio album - Higher Truth - provides every indication of how unhappy he was...
She was his "scream." Shes a monster.
Murderer of blue skies
There was some kind of mood disorder for sure.
All his albums had dark af lyrics on them. Every one.
Something ain't right
Theresa Adams The earth is flat.
yea..and nobody's talking about all the connections like chester dying the same way allegedly and how they were working together to expose pedophilia..anthony bourdain died "same way" after talking about the clintons on twitter
@@jarretttindle5101 hahah shut the hell up😂😂😂 god i hope your not serious. You should be in time out from CZcams
@@jarretttindle5101 the Clinton's have a giant list of dead associates who crossed them
@@thedonofthsht76-58 keep up the shillin for the globalists...God will judge us all when He returns and it will be noted that you are an enemy of truth
I do miss him a lot. I saw him in a live acoustic set one year before his death. It made a big impact on me. RIP.
RIP my brother Chris. Thank you for your music. It lives on.
My heart breaks for her and his family. No one deserves this. He was a beautiful and talented man and his legacy will live on forever. RIP❤️
I dont think he killed himself...
rest in peace chris
your music is immortal
we will all die eventually
you have blessed others
with your amazing gifts
each individual does
have something
special to share
with you as model
truly inspiring hope
in the form of rolled
up sleeves disciplined
a beautiful craft of light
The behavior of his widow and mother-in-law on social media provides an indication of his circumstances prior to his suicide.
