Chris Cornell Death Cause: What happened to Chris Cornell Audioslave?

Chris Cornell was a rock legend who thrived on ambiguity. He was a key architect of the 1990s grunge movement, despite his resistance to genre classifications.

He was a multi-Grammy award-winning musician, universally renowned singer, songwriter, and lyricist who successfully retained his own unique identity over decades as a multi-Grammy award-winning musician and universally recognized singer, songwriter, and lyricist.

Cornell, the frontman for Soundgarden, died in Detroit in May 2017 at the age of 52. His death was deemed a suicide by hanging by the coroner.

Toxicology tests revealed that Ativan, as well as barbiturates, caffeine, the anti-opioid medication naloxone, and a decongestant, were present in his system. However, according to the autopsy report, narcotics were not the cause of death.

Meanwhile, his bereaved family pointed the finger at his doctor ( Dr. Robert Koblin), who they accused and sued for overprescribing him with “hazardous” drugs.

Chris Cornell’s death was officially deemed as a suicide, but there are still unanswered concerns. His death was devastating, and it saddened a lot of people including family, friends, and funs.

What happened to Chris Cornell Audioslave?

Soundgarden disbanded in 1997 but rejoined in 2016. Following the band’s disbandment, Cornell launched a successful solo career and formed Audioslave with Rage Against The Machine members.

Cornell announced his departure from the band in a statement in February 2007, and they split soon after.

“I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave due to irresolvable personality disputes as well as musical disagreements.” In a statement, the part-time Paris restaurateur stated, “I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future pursuits.”

The breakup of Audioslave was not unexpected. His former bandmates, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk, have reunited with singer Zack de la Rocha to resurrect Rage Against the Machine, which will perform for the first time in seven years on April 29 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California. Rage’s future plans are unknown after this show.

Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk stated on Dean Delray’s Let There Be Talk podcast that frontman Chris Cornell’s drug addiction caused the band to break up.

He said, “We already broke up, Audioslave broke up before the first record even came out.”

He continued, “So that was frustrating because we had this record in the can, and then we weren’t a band, That was tough. But we got it together, he got it together, and we were able to make three records.”
