The open letter revealed that Chris Cornell had always told his wife that he wouldn’t be alive if it were not for her.
Grunge legend and a voice of an angel, Chris Cornell, committed suicide last week (May 17) at the age of 52. He was found dead with an exercise band around his neck inside his hotel room. Just hours before he died, he was playing a concert with his band Soundgarden in Atlanta.
Writing an open letter for Billboard, Vicky Cornell referred to her late husband as “my sweet Christopher” and described the singer as “the best father, husband and son-in-law”.
Read the letter below:
“To My Sweet Christopher,
You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through.
You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn’t be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life. Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I’m sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night. I’m sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.
I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.
I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will.
Always and forever,
Your Vicky”
