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

According to his representative, rocker Chris Cornell, who gained fame as the lead singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, has died at age 52.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Brian Bumbery says Cornell died Wednesday night in Detroit.

Bumbery called the death "sudden and unexpected" and said his wife and family were shocked by it. The statement said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

Cornell was still a working musician until very recently, and performed a show hours before he died. He was in the middle of a sold-out US tour, with six dates left remaining before its finish on May 27.

These Grunge cats are really about that life though.

RIP to Cornell though, a fantastic musician.
