Chris Cornell's Younger Brother Posts Tribute Online

Oh the feels. </3 

Reminds me of when I lost my brother. But now, I feel like I lost another with the passing of Chris Cornell. Even though I didn't personally know him, I still felt connected. His music was my release. It got me through good times, bad times and everything in between. Thank you for sharing your grieving with us, Peter.

Here's what Peter Cornell, younger brother of late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, posted on Facebook a few days ago: 

"FRIENDS;

It's been difficult to put words together. My heart is broken. Chris was always just my brother. We just "were". No pretense. No dog and pony show. We didn't have to get deep all the time. Sometimes we only needed to just be in the same room and just be present. That was enough.

It wasn't until this week, it really hit me how he belonged to the world. That he is an icon and a legend. That being said, I am so sorry to YOU for your loss. Artists, actors, musicians. We rely on these people to lift us up. To inspire us and distract us in times of trouble. Chris protected us when we needed him to. His one of a kind-ness surrounded us like a suit of armor. He was a warrior and a wizard. A howling wolf and a trusted mentor.

My brother gave freely of his gifts and it was never a struggle. He kept himself from the saturation of celebrity in such a humble way. The power and anger and passion of my brother's music was always genuine, original and legitimate. He was the powerful, sensitive, fragile, angry, mystical creature that will exist forever in his body of work. And he did it for ALL of us. Giving it away. Leaving all on the stage or in the recordings that will keep him immortal.

I will never wrap my head around his passing. I've been in shock since I heard the news. I can't and won't let him go.

Please know, with all the humility I can muster from the depths of a pulverized heart, I THANK EACH OF YOU for your kindness and condolences. THANK YOU for finding me through YOUR tears.

Hold your brothers close. Much Love!

PC"

What a beautiful tribute. Sending good vibes your way, Peter Cornell. Hugs.
