What was his site called before he re branded it to ride the coattails of an old mtv show? It sucked then too.

You just man up and say the right thing. "Im sorry I never called. It's nothimg personal I just am having a hard time dealing etc. I'm so sorry for your loss. Call me if you need anything".

Im 100% with dev on this one- no schtick.

If a small number of people showed up to services for my wife I'd be fine with that. I wouldn't want to shake hands with a lot of the tourists that inevitably end up attending these things.

I definitely wouldn't flip out on Twitter over the reaction of someone who probably hasn't been all that close in recent years. It's not like they're bumping into each other after club shows in Seattle anymore.

Agreed

Grief and relationships are complicated and personal. By all accounts Chris and Eddie were close friends. Even if they weren't Eddie is very close to other close friends of his. If someone does go or does not go there is almost certainly a good reason for it. This really feels like a gossipy non-story other than the sad display of a grieving loved one venting in inappropriate public ways.

Chris Cornell was messed up during his Detroit concert ... hours before he committed suicide -- this according to a longtime confidant who was present and working the event.

Ted Keedick, who worked with Chris for the last decade as his house engineer and tour manager, tells TMZ, "Chris was out of character from note 1 of the show. I've never heard or seen him that way before, at least if we did not cancel a show."

Keedick says Chris seemed "high" and "f***ed up," but not depressed. In fact, Keedick says during sound check Chris was in good spirits. It's consistent with what Chris' widow says of her phone conversations with Chris before and after the show. Vicky Cornell says Chris told her he had taken "an extra Ativan or two" and she was so alarmed she called hotel security to check on him. Chris' own security guy discovered the singer had hanged himself in his room.

Keedick says Chris was off during the entire show, saying, "I'd never heard his voice that way before. He was having serious control problems."

Keedick was positioned in the middle of the audience with his mixing board, and at one point during the concert he was so concerned he phoned someone backstage and asked what was wrong with Chris.

As we reported, Chris had struggled with drug abuse for years, but his wife says he was clean when he died. Based on Keedick's account, it appears he fell off the wagon before his last concert.

It seems it was probably what we all thought it might be.

Something wasn't right at the Audioslave reunion gig. I posted about this a month ago how he seemed drunk, and I was wondering that because I thought he wasn't drinking anymore.

yea.. geez. just watched "like a stone". not pretty

[verb_to_trust]

If Chris was falling off the wagon then why didn't his band mates notice? You would think it would have been obvious to them.

[evenslow]

this is really really awful. she's still going and making insinuations about linda ramone and an apparent rift with vicky cornell.

[verb_to_trust]

What did he do to Vicky? Think she was a Cleveland Indians fan and things boiled over?

[evenslow]

Now is she talking about Jill? I'm so confused.

[verb_to_trust]

Oh man those fan page people already have the pitchforks out for Ed. Seems very misplaced but I guess there could be something else to the story we don't know.

[dprival78]

weird situation.

people who follow jill on instagram are saying ed is handling this in his own way. she allegedly posted this clip as proof:

Spoiler: show

[Monkey_Driven]

I have no idea what is going on but judging by the tweets, this mother in law is kind of wackadoo.

kind of? compared to this woman my MiL is mother theresa.

[LetMeSleep]

My guess is Ed will go to Amsterdam to get everything sorted but return for the funeral by private jet. He won't miss the funeral nor the gigs. If he's a bit tired or messy during the first show it won't matter a jot.

her tweets are not even comprehensible. its like a stoned trump on a twitter rant.
