Very true and can't change the title. Hopefully a mod will step in.

Done. Who was he?

 

[The Clamp]

It seems be true but reports it's a hoax from earlier in the week?

Probably the best rock voice of my generation. Loved nearly everything he did. Very sad.

Done. Who was he?

Just Googled him... Audioslave and Soundgarden don't help me much. Another small slice of the great musical world that has somehow passed me by.

This is sad news.

Soundgarden are all over my FaceBook at the moment as they are currently on tour so this has come as quite a shock.

Such a shame.

Also sang on Temple of the dog album with a bunch of the guys from Pearl Jam.

Such a great album and incredible to think it basically launched Eddie Vedder.

Incredibly sad news.

I could list so many great tracks he recorded, everything he did was unbelievably good. Just listen to some of his live acoustic stuff to realise what an amazing voice he had.

Temple of the dog is one of my all time favourite albums. Soundgarden were amazing, Audioslave were amazing.

A true rock legend!!!!

This. By all accounts he was a thoroughly lovely man too.
The tone in his voice was simply incredible.
