Cornell was found dead in his Detroit hotel room early on the morning of May 18, 2017, shortly after performing at a SOUNDGARDEN concert the night before. His death was reported by the Wayne County Medical Examiner to be the result of suicide. He suffered from depression and substance abuse problems earlier in his life.
Cornell was known for his role as one of the architects of the 1990s grunge movement, for his extensive catalog as a songwriter and for his near four octave vocal range as well as his powerful vocal belting technique. He released four solo studio albums, Euphoria Morning (1999), Carry On (2007), Scream (2009), Higher Truth(2015) and the live album Songbook (2011). Cornell received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his song “The Keeper” which appeared in the film Machine Gun Preacher and co-wrote and performed the theme song to the James Bond film Casino Royale (2006), “You Know My Name“.
