Fan Selling Ticket Stub Autographed By Chris Cornell In His Final Hour

Last month, Chris Cornell died of an apparent suicide in his Detroit hotel room, but he was in rock-star mode in his last hours. It appears that one of the last people who saw Cornell alive was a fan who followed him back to his hotel after playing the final Soundgarden show. The fan got Cornell to sign a ticket stub and a few records, and that ticket stub is now for sale on eBay, with an asking price of $9,999.99.

On the eBay page, the fan writes, “This ticket was signed at his hotel immediately following the concert, and this happened only about an hour before he passed away. He signed a couple vinyl records and CD covers for me and my ticket stub. Please see the date of the ticket stub.”

Even at that price, the fan can’t guarantee its authenticity in any tangible way: “I do not have a photo proof of Chris signing this item or other autographs from that date. This was signed as he was entering his hotel. He had a police escort after the show, was traveling with private security, and there was hotel security. The situation didn’t really permit photos.”

But if you have a whole lot of money to blow on a particularly morbid piece of rock memorabilia, it’s up for sale here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chris-Cornell-O ... 2944704855
Autograph signed outside hotel shortly before death...a little too close to the John Lennon / Mark Chapman scenario.

Except it's entirely different because everyone knows Chris Cornell's wife killed him.

Just so happens I have a dropbox folder with 11 versions of this song in it, but not this one. I'll check tonight and see if I have in on my hard drive at home.
Thank you, that would be great if you have it. Can't believe there's not something readily available/floating around online.
Have you tried ripping it from the youtube video? I use onlinevideoconverter.com - works great.

Nothing here, sorry - this might be your best bet.
No worries! I'll try ripping it--thank you both!

EDIT: Wow that does work great!
Holy crap!! Thanks for posting this! This is awesome.

Yeah, I went to his solo show last year and I'm so happy now that I did.

A former RMer has gone off the rails on twitter with conspiracy theories on his death.

No, that was Keith Moon. Or more recently, John Entwistle.

This is about a dude from Soundgarden. Stick with the program, please.

I'm assuming Demetrios here. That guy only ever had a passing acquaintance with "the rails" as it was.

It's been close to a month since Chris died. Doesn't it feel like 12 months?

Just realised how insensitive my post above could be considered, given the thread topic...
