When did Chris Cornell relapse?
The Soundgarden vocalist had been clean and sober since 2003, but his wife, Vicky Cornell, says he relapsed in 2016.
She says she thinks this is what eventually caused him to commit himself in May 2017.
Let’s some other facts about him.
Known for his huge songwriting library, his almost four-octave vocal range, and his strong belting style, Cornell is regarded as one of the primary characters of the 1990s grunge movement.
In addition to the live album Songbook (2011) and the two compilations The Roads We Choose (2007) and Chris Cornell (2018), the latter of which was published posthumously, he has recorded four solo studio albums: Euphoria Morning (1999), Carry On (2007), Scream (2009), and Higher Truth (2015).
He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his song “The Keeper,” which was included in the 2011 movie Machine Gun Preacher. He also co-wrote and sang “You Know My Name,” the theme song for the James Bond movie Casino Royale, which debuted in 2006.
