Don't be sad, he ain't dead & neither is Bowie, Lemmy, George Michael, Prince, Scott Weiland & numerous other Illuminati celebrities who fake their deaths. Laughing my ass off, LOL. Don't you think the numerous alleged music star & actor deaths in the last few years are just a little odd ? Uhhh but the News Media doesn't lie do they ? The MSM News is a propaganda machine for the ruling oligarchy....Welcome to the Machine where things are not what they seem. They are setting the stage for WW3 to kill off billions for population control. They have Nazi FEMA death camps all over the UN. They control all weather with HAARP frequency. This technology is over 30 years old. They have been geo engineering the weather since the floods of 1927. They are destroying crops & homes on purpose. They put heavy metals in your brain via chemtrails, vaccines, underarm deodorants & of course toxic aluminum cans. This heavy metal accumulate in your brain will be used as a conductor for microwave compliance weapons. You can detox heavy metals by fasting, drinking 1 gallon or more per day of homemade distilled water, eat an organic plant based diet rich in antioxidants & chelating vegetables & by avoiding processed sugar, artificial sweeteners & by avoiding all western medicine including Vaccines which were designed to slowly kill you. Vaccines contain aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, endocrine hormone disruptors & a live attenuated virus. You gotta be stupid if you are still vaccinating. I take the conspiracy one step further. HG Wells was or maybe he still is one of them, the vampire elite. They want you to believe in aliens so of course they've cloned giants & cross hybridized them with animals to make beastly alien looking creatures. You can't pass thru the Van Allen Radiation Belt so space exploration is a sham. By cross hybridizing animals they can also create a Dragon. Since these beastly hybrids are not created by God guess who gets to possess them ? If you guessed Satan & his millions of Demons then you are correct ! The occult are much bigger than most people can imagine. They control all governments, militaries, local law enforcement, judicial system, the propaganda news media & most of the alternative news too. They control the entertainment industry, the BS educational indoctrination system, the Rockefeller owned Healthkill system & the food & water industries If you don't believe a Satanic cult runs this world then you are a brainwashed idiot :)
Average Joe - That's not what happened, as we now know. It appears he may have accidentally taken too many prescription drugs where the extreme side effects have some kind suicidal characteristics. Otherwise I would totally agree with you. Ativan is the suspected culprit that Vickey, his wife, has mentioned. Also, for other instances of suicide, please do not underestimate depression. If you’ve never experienced it before, you will not have known how seductive the outcome of no longer being alive can be. It’s ruthless, illogical and in the moment, a completely comforting and rational decision. But it is almost always the wrong one.
Please, show some respect!!! Chris was an amazing human being and artist. He helped many of us through difficult times in our lives, we felt he was a close friend... He was always kind, he wrote some of the most memorable and brutal songs of history, so shut the f*ck up, Average Joe!
That's the excuse they are giving. He was an amazing talent. But he couldn't cope. I seen him in interviews were he talked about suicide and he said it was one's choice! He took the easy way out!
Kudos to Chris for puttin' headphones upon his children. His voice was (I hate to say was) powerful and loud that he would kill there eardrums. R.I.P Chis.
kidda74 he made an impulsive decision. had he had someone, there that cared and would have prevented that impulsive decision, he would probably be with us today. am still somewhat upset with Chris for his selfish impulsive decision, not for myself but for his beautiful family, heartbroken, probably the most over any public figure in my life, even Kurt Cobain. I was 23 when that happened,and I would like to think I'm a little wiser now, and I feel this is a bigger loss, Chris was an extremely, kind, gentle, caring soul, who was obsessed with death. as am I, that's why my opinion is so strong about this, I've been in that hole, and if you can just make it one more day, one more hour, one more minute, tomorrow will be another day. and with the support of his lovely family he would be with us today, that would be my wish for the world. because i'm sure knowing Chris and being able to call him "friend" was a gift not to be taken lightly. God bless and God rest your beautiful soul Mr. Cornell I can truly say that I love you and will miss you deeply, and God bless your widow Vicky, and your beautiful children, may their higher power guide them through life to happiness and peace in their souls, may this not destroy them, thank you for sharing Chris with all of us I know I'm better off just knowing of him
Chris was humble despite the fame he had. I knew him in the early days when he was dating Susan Silver whom he later married. One could sense that Chris was a thinker, on the poetic side. I was dismayed when his marriage to Susan broke up after the birth of their first child . I remember him hanging with Jeff Ament who was in Green River at the time. The early Seattle days.... There has been no mention of his 5 siblings ( other than Peter) or his mother. Why? I can imagine the broken heart Susan Silver also has. Chris clearly adored her strength & talent in those days. His death was a Shocker. I could share other stories about. Chris, but essentially he was just a kind good person who had a hell of a talent .
Such a beautiful human. Anxiety, depression, addiction. They are a part of my life, part of me. I feel this loss so intensely. I hope he's found peace. 💕
Chris Cornell was an incredible singer. An incredible songwriter. I don't know what he was dealing with when he died, but I wish something could have stopped him. Looking at him singing to his kids here breaks my heart and has me in tears every time I watch it.
How beautiful. He was so connected to his babies. He even mimics their little dancing. This song, is even more beautiful knowing that Chris set up a charity for children who are in need, the most basic, hunger. Great man, huge loss. I will pass down your art through my own babies, to my own Chris, who is named after the great Chris Cornell.
This is so beautifully painful to watch... I saw this (Cary On) tour in Baltimore and he and the band were absolutely amazing live... Chris, wherever you are, know that you were and always will be soooooooooo fucking loved man, and all of us who loved you and were lucky enough to share this ride with you are sorry we couldn't help you pull through. You were a brilliant shooting star and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing music you left for all of us. For your family there just are no words other than this: You were a special man and I am sure they know that you gave all you could until you couldn't any longer...
Geoff K Jeff, remember that date in Baltimore he played moonshower as an improv after someone requested it.. Amazing show I got to meet him after words. I was so starstruck I could barely talk
Yup remember it well, the Ram's Head was insanely packed that night! Was actually fortunate enough to meet and hang out with him in March of 1990 before he became super famous. Soundgarden was the 2nd band on an insane bill featuring Faith No More (pre The Real Thing blowing up on MTV) and Voivod. Just walked backstage at this little club in Lancaster PA (where i live) and hung out with him and Kim, all of us were pretty drunk and Chris kinda poured beer on me which I thought was hilarious at the time. He was absolutely mesmerizing and they blew me away live and fortunately I got to see them several more times (but not enough). It's been a brutal week trying to get my head around this (and I suffer from intense anxiety and depression so I truly feel connected in that way to him) the man was a legend and more importantly, I believe, a troubled but beautiful soul !
Yep you bet !!!! The more I thought about that night, it was Kim that poured the beer on me, not Chris ... Still can't get my head around him being gone.
Who would dare dislike this! I feel for his kids. They must be going through so much pain. My grandad just died too, so this has been a horrible few weeks...
I can not breathe through the tears...but yet somehow have a smile on my face....oh those littles...how very very much they were loved....I hope they keep these sort of moments close to their hearts now through the pain and forevermore....it still hurts my heart soo much...I can't even imagine what they are going through right now 😢😭😢😭
Seeing this vid I held back tears and broke my heart allover again. But one thing's for sure, it was a set up. Look what followed with Chester. Sooner or later the truth will be uncovered, but it will be long after it's fresh in anyone's mind. I believe everything that's linked together because there are evil people in this world that don't wanna be discovered. Karma is a bitch. They will burn in hellfire. RIP Chris. RIP Chester. :'(
Rest Peacefully Chris, many prayers and blessings to those beautiful children who lost their father way too young, may they find happiness in their lives and avoid the pitfalls you had growing up, the focus is on them now, God bless
When you see something like this, it puts the whole tragedy into some perspective. The world may have lost Chris Cornell, the singer, but his kids lost their father which anyone can relate to. RIP Chris.
This man loved his kids, his wife, his family.. there is no way that if Chris was in his right mind he would have left them.. my heart breaks for his family.. I am so sad..so damn sad.. Chis was one of the greatest singer/song writers that this world has ever known we are so lucky that he gave us the greatest gift .. his music.. I will miss you eternally... xo
How sweet is this! He must of been a wonderful Daddy. I feel for his kids. Crappy Dr's & inhumane drug companies. Makes me sick to my stomach. You're at peace now!
He was an addict, he should have NEVER been prescribed those in the first place. Shoulda, coulda, woulda too late now. So very, very sad. When the little boy turned around and I saw his shirt I got teary. I hope this is what they will remember not everything else they hear about their father's death.
Let's see you stay on Ativan or Xanax or any of these other drugs made by the Devil for a number of years and see how you fare. Go back to sacking groceries. Dumbass.
bamaslaten Before you go spouting off an ignorant comment like that one, you should think about how many people these "devil drugs" have helped to lead normal lives, including myself- being on an anti-anxiety medicine for 19 years. And drugs did not kill Chris, his life-long depression did- I'm so tired of you armchair "PsychD"'s that KNOW NOTHING of the subject- it's what I've studied and worked in for years. So you can take that utterly ridiculous comment and piss off. Bloody fool.
Marisa...I will start by telling you and absolutely guaranteeing you that I have a B.A. in Psychology from a real university (not Trump Univ or Univ of Phoenix or some other fake, for-profit "school"). While I absolutely agree that there are medications that have been wonderful and have helped millions of people live better lives, what IS true is that the pharma industry has gone off the rails and is EXTREMELY reckless with their products. They throw out free samples like candy, and place warnings in very small print in a huge packet of research data that 99% of people can't understand. Many of the doctors that I have worked with are pressured to hand out drugs, many times even when they are still considered "experimental", and even many of them aren't 100% clear on all of the possible side effects. Mixing medications and other chemicals affect each person differently, and in Cornell's case, we don't know for certain if this was an intentional overdose because people build tolerances to them, and the person is left to feel that it isn't working as well as it should, so they take more...and then take something else because it hasn't been made clear to them of the dangers (how can they think there is a danger if the doctor prescribed them both?). Calling them "devil drugs" is the part I don't agree with...but the pharma industry has become dirty, and are peddling and pushing these drugs/medications as though they were drug dealers. These drugs are very dangerous, but the industry has done a great job of marketing them as medicines, and giving the impression that you would really have to take a lot of them to do harm, without being more clear that even taking one extra pill can kill you. As someone who has also benefited from these drugs, I can still empathize with the anger that we are losing so many beautiful people because of reckless misinformation and doctors that are making a quick buck passing on medications rather than giving someone actual therapy. The world lost a beautiful person and a beautiful voice, and we are angry because it didn't have to happen. If Chris meant to do this, that of course is completely different, because he would have found a way. But if it truly was accidental overdose...just like in the case of Prince and Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger, and thousands more people...then this is a problem that we should be upset about. I want people to live better lives, to feel more "normal"...not be taken advantage of or treated like guinea pigs. I am glad, though, that you found something that has helped you and worked for you. That should be the only focus of these medicinal inventions. But keep in mind that they are still drugs...just not illegal street drugs, but still controlled because of how dangerous they really can be.
I never knew this video existed. But i sing this to my two little boys ages 4 and 2 in the living room like we’re having a concert. Im smiling and happy and they’re dancing and smiling and laughing. But like Chris i feel deep down my demons will eventually get the best of me and this makes it bitter sweet!!!!! Sometimes people seem so happy on the outside but inside their world is turning upside down. And if you’ve never felt that way I don’t know if you could ever explain it to anyone. I use to not believe depression or whatever is a disease but as the years go by I believe it’s like cancer. You may can kill it out and go into remission or it will either take you out. If anyone feels like this let’s try to keep up the good fight!!!✊🏼
just devastated, we have lost a legend. And a wife lost her husband and those beautiful children lost their Father, their life will never be the same! Rest Easy Sweet Chris. Anyone who says depression is something easy to get over or through has no idea what their talking about! We will NEVER FORGET YOU CHRIS CORNELL, Thank you for all the beautiful music.....XOXOXO
Incredible. His voice is 100% on the song, but his attention and love is 100% on his kids. Thank you for uploading this, it was truly beautiful to see!
Love his powerful voice, and lovely to have come across this video. Never met you Chris but am heartbroken for you and your family. I've watched that last show and simply just didnt seem right, compared to this video and all other live songs Chris had done. Just wish we knew how he had been feeling in the weeks leading up to the tragic event
Oh my heart, those poor babies and his will, I'm so sorry! Please continue to search for answers to Chris's death, I can't believe this was self inflicted! God bless you all! RIP Chris!
Well that just broke my heart all over again. It's been two weeks and I'm still thinking about Chris Cornell. This is a beautiful clip with his children and I hope one day when they are much older they can stumble upon it and see their father's love for them from this perspective.
This man would never leave those beautiful children. It's so sad, but this was a terrible accident caused by some horrendous side effects of the prescription drugs. May he RIP and may his children and wife remember the good memories of him.
If you are wrestling with it, something to consider about a 52 year old (and I know because I am one) we were raised in a time when you weren't allowed to consider quitting. Emotions, those deep hard ones, were a luxury you'd been guilted out of indulging yourself. A lot of powerful art took its place but the sense of personal responsibility and obligation to others is a sometimes crushing burden. No, you don't tell others the things that you know they wouldn't be able to handle because 1) they'd want to deny the validity 2) you're concept of who you are and what got you this far would take a mighty hit. A great sense of isolation, outrage, and anxiety gets masked by other stuff to protect those one cares about. At 52 you wake up some days feeling every inch the physical and emotional toll it takes to last just this long AND yet you are still inside harboring the 18 year old who could do anything, all the same passions and aspirations are living there but you're like Steve McQueen at the end of the Sand Pebbles "What the hell happened?" And you keep saying "everythings ok, I got it" cause it always was before, and if the body starts to concede defeat there's a nice doctor to help patch you up so you can just keep on going, even give you some extra stuff for problems you didn't know you had, so everything looks normal to those around you who need to think you're ok while the world is starting to wobble and fall apart for you but nobody sees what is going on right in front of them. This is how we lose wonderful people. It's how you end up with unemployment offices full of 50 somethings (there through no fault of their own) who got downsized, and households where one or two people work souless jobs to support couch surfers and cast off grandchildren. All the while feeling somehow, inspite of best intentions and no lack of effort, this is their own fault so they should just suck it up and keep going. People are bound to break. Chris is just an extremely talented and public example of the processes his whole generation are going through at this point. Yes even "artists" have to deal with the industrialized requirements of the business of business and in that sense he couldn't be a whole lot different from anybody else his age. I've been watching it going on all around me and we're not a very sympathetic lot because we all think the same way, with little patience for ourselves or each other, looking at maybe 20-30 more years of SOS (same ole...s***) to deal with. How many times was he going to have to sing Black Hole Sun and play the dancing monkey for us? Heart breaking.
chris we will miss u i will miss u your music was amazing your music brought people through tough and rough times and it also made people happy you are an amazing singer my dad saw you in concert i wish i did see you in heaven.
I remember watching this vid with my friends. What a beautiful human being you were Chris. You made me overcome some difficult times, rest in peace, you are incredibly missed
Oh my gosh, the video is incredibly endearing, remarkable. Immediately obvious is the irrefutable fact that though he is a legend in the music world, he first and foremost is a great dad. He seemed to be such a super person and excelled at being everything to his little "posse" and the kids are just an enamored with him as they were to him. Aside from being an unparalleled talent, he seemed to be a staunch humanitarian and he, along with all three of his children, are beautiful people inside AND outside. I respect Chris Cornell for many reasons, least of which was his amazing voice, empathy and intellect, but also his integrity, intuition, philanthropy. In fact, his most valuable and impressive contribution to this world, as evidenced by those who knew and loved him most, is him being doting, supportive and loving father. By all accounts, he was an exemplary artist, a committed friend and attentive parent who, in countless interviews and articles I've read, remained humble and true to himself, never trying to be someone or something he wasn't. God bless his soul and his family and friends who suffer a tremendous loss. This is clearly a person whose shoes can never be filled by those who knew and loved him most, especially when they graciously share intimate stories and photos of him. A person like Cornell will always remain irreplaceable and his family can be proud of this fact. ❤️
Chris was and is just like one of us... he was symbolizing and expressing our dreams, losses and hopes... like no other..and that's the reason why we love him...
Still can't believe your gone chris you were a angel on earth such a kind hearted soul.Your music, your life and your story will continue to inspire more people as it has so many others rest in peace and God bless your family and friends you are to me the greatest vocalist to ever live so unique and powerful.
No artist impacted the background music to my life as much is this man. What an amazing gift he had. I don't well up very often but watching this has me fairly choked...wow. #legendary
You could spend your whole life trying to form a bond like that with your Father. Even though the death is untimely, the time spent, the quality of it, will last in his kids hearts forever. RIP.
he is like no other, his humanity and love always shined through, I am so utterly sad but I can not bring myself to stop listening to him, RIP you beautiful man
this was too adorable and heart breaking to watch all the the same time. made me tear up a bit. im sure chris was a wonderful father to his children. i hope as they get older they both realize what an incredible impact and huge influence he made on his fans that loved him and his music from all over the world to enjoy and cherish...#RIPCHRIS YOU WHERE A GREAT MAN AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS
You can see the utter joy and love he has for his children in this video. They were his world. Unfortunately what people need to understand is that the inner demon can and does win more times than not. No matter how much we struggle to keep one foot grounded in this world that demon pulls and tugs at our strings, and the only way to get free is to cut those strings. I feel pain and heartache for those kids because it's obvious they adore him as well.
Ive been waiting to watch this one...thinking it was safe, oh boy was I wrong....how sweetly beautiful, and again, showing true Chris....*heart blasted to pieces and tears flowing like a raging river*
Rest easy friend....I wish I could have met you. You must not have known how many you helped, through your pain over the years. You, Andy, Layne, Chester, Scott, Kurt....you must all be watching over us now to help! Thanks for everything, you 4 octave god! P.S. The Black Hole Son....ugh the tears
Sweet daddy Cornell. What a proud papa and an amazingly talented man that's just gone way too soon. So loved by so many. RIP Chris. You will be so missed for a very long, long time.
My heart is broken... so sweet and so sad now... Chris, thank you... why have you gone..?
He's gone because he's a loser! He left those kids fatherless. He was a weak fool! You all make like he was a great man.He was a singer!
Don't be sad, he ain't dead & neither is Bowie, Lemmy, George Michael, Prince, Scott Weiland & numerous other Illuminati celebrities who fake their deaths.

That was my favorite!! What a loss for the music world.

So beautiful. His children will cherish this video when they're older. Heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.

I agree. Watching this made me realise what a precious and special moment has been captured, more so now with his death. :(

This is so bittersweet, I just can't stop crying but neither can imagine how devastated this kids are right now.
at least they have memories like this! and places like youtube to see daddy perform for eternity:)
I was just thinking about that!
It's terribly sad, for somebody with a beautiful family to take their own life they must be in a very dark place.

I hope these kids have the most extraordinary life they can possible have. They will need confort and love. God bless them.
Sergio Morel not of there mom has anything to do with it
His daughter Toni is singing now
Right on
Exactly
The smile on his face as his daugher sang a line of the song was priceless. Also, good dad move having both of them with ear protection.
Smiling and crying at the same time.
I love how Toni was trying to encourage her brother to wave to the audience hehehe @3:50. Such a sweet and adorable moment with their Dad

I think the song Worried Moon on CCs Higher Truth album is about Susan. I want to believe that anyway:)
We will never stop missing you, Beautiful Man with a Powerful Angel's voice. Hope to see you on the other side :(((
Such a beautiful human. Anxiety, depression, addiction. They are a part of my life, part of me. I feel this loss so intensely. I hope he's found peace. 💕
I don't think he would have killed himself though if he hadn't had a relapse and been on a bunch of stuff. He was a GREAT DAD

Those kids will never stop missing their daddy.
Just teared up at work watching this. so precious
With you. 😢

This killed me. I've lost friends... they couldn't shake it... the meds made things worse... its all so pointless
Duane Falconer yes....so pointless and so crushingly sad 😢😭
He was murdered
Kelley McCullough still investigating but hopefully they find the fuckers RIP cuz
Seeing this vid I held back tears and broke my heart allover again. But one thing's for sure, it was a set up. Look what followed with Chester. Sooner or later the truth will be uncovered, but it will be long after it's fresh in anyone's mind. I believe everything that's linked together because there are evil people in this world that don't wanna be discovered. Karma is a bitch. They will burn in hellfire. RIP Chris. RIP Chester. :'(
I cannot stop crying...
What could have been one of the cutest videos on youtube turned out to be one of the saddest.

Rest Peacefully Chris, many prayers and blessings to those beautiful children who lost their father way too young, may they find happiness in their lives and avoid the pitfalls you had growing up, the focus is on them now, God bless
When you see something like this, it puts the whole tragedy into some perspective. The world may have lost Chris Cornell, the singer, but his kids lost their father which anyone can relate to. RIP Chris.
Yeah cause he loved his kids. He was murdered
omg, that is so precious!
Thank you for uploading this! So beautiful.
This man loved his kids, his wife, his family.. there is no way that if Chris was in his right mind he would have left them.. my heart breaks for his family.. I am so sad..so damn sad.. Chis was one of the greatest singer/song writers that this world has ever known we are so lucky that he gave us the greatest gift .. his music.. I will miss you eternally... xo
ahhh man that is sooo cute...
If you have a heart and it feels like its getting broken while watching this, you're human. Embrace that humanity.
3:34 ...this is so sweet, and 6:15 his cute daughter gives him back the microphone. So wonderful family. Forever missed beautiful soul!
I was at this concert in person, and it was even more adorable than it looks on video. He sure loved those kids.
this makes me so sad
Bawling for the 6th night in a row...will miss you Chris!!!!! 💔💔💔
R.i.p chris Cornell
no one sing like you Chris Cornell, RIP Chris. Hunger strike striking me, cry....
How sweet is this! He must of been a wonderful Daddy. I feel for his kids. Crappy Dr's & inhumane drug companies. Makes me sick to my stomach. You're at peace now!
He was a wonderful daddy? He left this earth without thinking about his kids! Yes, he's wonderful! :)
He was an addict, he should have NEVER been prescribed those in the first place. Shoulda, coulda, woulda too late now. So very, very sad. When the little boy turned around and I saw his shirt I got teary. I hope this is what they will remember not everything else they hear about their father's death.
Let's see you stay on Ativan or Xanax or any of these other drugs made by the Devil for a number of years and see how you fare. Go back to sacking groceries. Dumbass.
bamaslaten Before you go spouting off an ignorant comment like that one, you should think about how many people these "devil drugs" have helped to lead normal lives, including myself- being on an anti-anxiety medicine for 19 years. And drugs did not kill Chris, his life-long depression did- I'm so tired of you armchair "PsychD"'s that KNOW NOTHING of the subject- it's what I've studied and worked in for years. So you can take that utterly ridiculous comment and piss off. Bloody fool.
Marisa...I will start by telling you and absolutely guaranteeing you that I have a B.A. in Psychology from a real university (not Trump Univ or Univ of Phoenix or some other fake, for-profit "school"). While I absolutely agree that there are medications that have been wonderful and have helped millions of people live better lives, what IS true is that the pharma industry has gone off the rails and is EXTREMELY reckless with their products. They throw out free samples like candy, and place warnings in very small print in a huge packet of research data that 99% of people can't understand. Many of the doctors that I have worked with are pressured to hand out drugs, many times even when they are still considered "experimental", and even many of them aren't 100% clear on all of the possible side effects. Mixing medications and other chemicals affect each person differently, and in Cornell's case, we don't know for certain if this was an intentional overdose because people build tolerances to them, and the person is left to feel that it isn't working as well as it should, so they take more...and then take something else because it hasn't been made clear to them of the dangers (how can they think there is a danger if the doctor prescribed them both?). Calling them "devil drugs" is the part I don't agree with...but the pharma industry has become dirty, and are peddling and pushing these drugs/medications as though they were drug dealers. These drugs are very dangerous, but the industry has done a great job of marketing them as medicines, and giving the impression that you would really have to take a lot of them to do harm, without being more clear that even taking one extra pill can kill you. As someone who has also benefited from these drugs, I can still empathize with the anger that we are losing so many beautiful people because of reckless misinformation and doctors that are making a quick buck passing on medications rather than giving someone actual therapy. The world lost a beautiful person and a beautiful voice, and we are angry because it didn't have to happen. If Chris meant to do this, that of course is completely different, because he would have found a way. But if it truly was accidental overdose...just like in the case of Prince and Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger, and thousands more people...then this is a problem that we should be upset about. I want people to live better lives, to feel more "normal"...not be taken advantage of or treated like guinea pigs. I am glad, though, that you found something that has helped you and worked for you. That should be the only focus of these medicinal inventions. But keep in mind that they are still drugs...just not illegal street drugs, but still controlled because of how dangerous they really can be.
Sweet Father,Great singer...
Absolutely adorable. Such a sad sad loss may you rest in peace.
I never knew this video existed. But i sing this to my two little boys ages 4 and 2 in the living room like we’re having a concert. Im smiling and happy and they’re dancing and smiling and laughing. But like Chris i feel deep down my demons will eventually get the best of me and this makes it bitter sweet!!!!! Sometimes people seem so happy on the outside but inside their world is turning upside down. And if you’ve never felt that way I don’t know if you could ever explain it to anyone. I use to not believe depression or whatever is a disease but as the years go by I believe it’s like cancer. You may can kill it out and go into remission or it will either take you out. If anyone feels like this let’s try to keep up the good fight!!!✊🏼
reminds me of my dad..
tears down.. ur wonderful daddy chris.. we love you..
God this just rips my heart out. What a wonderful man and father. Peace be with his family 🙏🏻
just devastated, we have lost a legend. And a wife lost her husband and those beautiful children lost their Father, their life will never be the same! Rest Easy Sweet Chris. Anyone who says depression is something easy to get over or through has no idea what their talking about! We will NEVER FORGET YOU CHRIS CORNELL, Thank you for all the beautiful music.....XOXOXO
This just broke my heart! As a father I'm literally in tears.
Hits different when you know what the song is about
Incredible. His voice is 100% on the song, but his attention and love is 100% on his kids. Thank you for uploading this, it was truly beautiful to see!
Love his powerful voice, and lovely to have come across this video. Never met you Chris but am heartbroken for you and your family. I've watched that last show and simply just didnt seem right, compared to this video and all other live songs Chris had done. Just wish we knew how he had been feeling in the weeks leading up to the tragic event
Oh my heart, those poor babies and his will, I'm so sorry! Please continue to search for answers to Chris's death, I can't believe this was self inflicted! God bless you all! RIP Chris!
Shaye Fisher search for answers so it never happens again to anyone, sadly we can't bring Chris back
Well that just broke my heart all over again. It's been two weeks and I'm still thinking about Chris Cornell. This is a beautiful clip with his children and I hope one day when they are much older they can stumble upon it and see their father's love for them from this perspective.
this is so beautiful and sad at the same time. there are tears everywhere. blessed babies right there.
This is overwhelming. He was really happy here with his kids. Thank you.
Just saw this for the first time...damn damn damn. We are still here Chris, wherever you are...
This man would never leave those beautiful children. It's so sad, but this was a terrible accident caused by some horrendous side effects of the prescription drugs. May he RIP and may his children and wife remember the good memories of him.
OMG .... so freakin' adorable .... I couldn't stop crying watching this one .... so beautiful, so sadly missed
If you are wrestling with it, something to consider about a 52 year old (and I know because I am one) we were raised in a time when you weren't allowed to consider quitting. Emotions, those deep hard ones, were a luxury you'd been guilted out of indulging yourself. A lot of powerful art took its place but the sense of personal responsibility and obligation to others is a sometimes crushing burden. No, you don't tell others the things that you know they wouldn't be able to handle because 1) they'd want to deny the validity 2) you're concept of who you are and what got you this far would take a mighty hit. A great sense of isolation, outrage, and anxiety gets masked by other stuff to protect those one cares about. At 52 you wake up some days feeling every inch the physical and emotional toll it takes to last just this long AND yet you are still inside harboring the 18 year old who could do anything, all the same passions and aspirations are living there but you're like Steve McQueen at the end of the Sand Pebbles "What the hell happened?" And you keep saying "everythings ok, I got it" cause it always was before, and if the body starts to concede defeat there's a nice doctor to help patch you up so you can just keep on going, even give you some extra stuff for problems you didn't know you had, so everything looks normal to those around you who need to think you're ok while the world is starting to wobble and fall apart for you but nobody sees what is going on right in front of them. This is how we lose wonderful people. It's how you end up with unemployment offices full of 50 somethings (there through no fault of their own) who got downsized, and households where one or two people work souless jobs to support couch surfers and cast off grandchildren. All the while feeling somehow, inspite of best intentions and no lack of effort, this is their own fault so they should just suck it up and keep going. People are bound to break. Chris is just an extremely talented and public example of the processes his whole generation are going through at this point. Yes even "artists" have to deal with the industrialized requirements of the business of business and in that sense he couldn't be a whole lot different from anybody else his age. I've been watching it going on all around me and we're not a very sympathetic lot because we all think the same way, with little patience for ourselves or each other, looking at maybe 20-30 more years of SOS (same ole...s***) to deal with. How many times was he going to have to sing Black Hole Sun and play the dancing monkey for us? Heart breaking.
Toni is the most sweet child I've ever seen
chris we will miss u i will miss u your music was amazing your music brought people through tough and rough times and it also made people happy you are an amazing singer my dad saw you in concert i wish i did see you in heaven.
It breaks my heart even more...... just watching him with his kid's!... you can see the love that he has for those baby's 😢
Very sad, yet happy to watch this. A lot of children lose their parents, but Chris' children will always have this. God bless him and his children!
What a sweet, loving dad. Come back when ever you're ready, Chris Cornell. We love you.
I remember watching this vid with my friends. What a beautiful human being you were Chris. You made me overcome some difficult times, rest in peace, you are incredibly missed
Wow, those poor kids. You can tell how much he loved them. This both warms and breaks my heart at the same time.....
He adored those kids. I will never believe that he took his own life.
Oh my gosh, the video is incredibly endearing, remarkable. Immediately obvious is the irrefutable fact that though he is a legend in the music world, he first and foremost is a great dad. He seemed to be such a super person and excelled at being everything to his little "posse" and the kids are just an enamored with him as they were to him. Aside from being an unparalleled talent, he seemed to be a staunch humanitarian and he, along with all three of his children, are beautiful people inside AND outside. I respect Chris Cornell for many reasons, least of which was his amazing voice, empathy and intellect, but also his integrity, intuition, philanthropy. In fact, his most valuable and impressive contribution to this world, as evidenced by those who knew and loved him most, is him being doting, supportive and loving father. By all accounts, he was an exemplary artist, a committed friend and attentive parent who, in countless interviews and articles I've read, remained humble and true to himself, never trying to be someone or something he wasn't. God bless his soul and his family and friends who suffer a tremendous loss. This is clearly a person whose shoes can never be filled by those who knew and loved him most, especially when they graciously share intimate stories and photos of him. A person like Cornell will always remain irreplaceable and his family can be proud of this fact. ❤️
I really love this clip..him with his kids, doing what he loved what he was great at,with 2 ppl he loved. rest in peace darling Chris
This video finally made me cry for Chris. Losing a parent so young sucks.
The sweetest! Will miss him terribly!
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve see all week. ❤️❤️❤️
Chris was and is just like one of us... he was symbolizing and expressing our dreams, losses and hopes... like no other..and that's the reason why we love him...
Still can't believe your gone chris you were a angel on earth such a kind hearted soul.Your music, your life and your story will continue to inspire more people as it has so many others rest in peace and God bless your family and friends you are to me the greatest vocalist to ever live so unique and powerful.
No artist impacted the background music to my life as much is this man. What an amazing gift he had. I don't well up very often but watching this has me fairly choked...wow. #legendary
You could spend your whole life trying to form a bond like that with your Father. Even though the death is untimely, the time spent, the quality of it, will last in his kids hearts forever. RIP.
I thought this pain had been washed away but it's still hurting a lot... My heart is broken and this video made me cry again. :'(
thanks for all the great music youll be missed and never for gotten. this is a shame.
he is like no other, his humanity and love always shined through, I am so utterly sad but I can not bring myself to stop listening to him, RIP you beautiful man
am so teary-eyed right now! rip Chris...
When dad has the kids for the night. Rip Chris, your kids are doing great and have the voice of angels
So precious. He really loved his kids. Toni had her father's moves back then. RIP Chris. You'll live on forever.
Sorry we could not help you brother Chris. What a beautiful family. What a wonderful moment. Thank you for all the great moments with your art.
this was too adorable and heart breaking to watch all the the same time. made me tear up a bit. im sure chris was a wonderful father to his children. i hope as they get older they both realize what an incredible impact and huge influence he made on his fans that loved him and his music from all over the world to enjoy and cherish...#RIPCHRIS YOU WHERE A GREAT MAN AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS
Chris Cornell was just an unbelievable musician and songwriter. This is so beautiful and his kids have an amazing connection to him
Impossible to watch this without tearing up. What an all around awesome guy. RIP Chris.
never had tears for Chris until I watched this. So sad yet so sweet to watch..
little toni! 💛 chris definitely passed on his talent to her. god bless his family and his memory.🙏💛🌻
I hope his children have memories they can cherish . I don't have the right words . Very sad situation. We will always remember that beautiful voice.
Too sad for words ,a natural father for sure .rip Chris Cornell xx
Tears are running down my face. So stinking cute. You can feel the love
It really made me cry 💔
How would these tiny little angels feel right now 😥😥😥 theyre all grown up now...
Why am I watching this?! It just breaks my heart!
You can see the utter joy and love he has for his children in this video. They were his world. Unfortunately what people need to understand is that the inner demon can and does win more times than not. No matter how much we struggle to keep one foot grounded in this world that demon pulls and tugs at our strings, and the only way to get free is to cut those strings. I feel pain and heartache for those kids because it's obvious they adore him as well.
I'm so f'n depressed I feel like I know this man.miss and love him 24/7.
Ive been waiting to watch this one...thinking it was safe, oh boy was I wrong....how sweetly beautiful, and again, showing true Chris....*heart blasted to pieces and tears flowing like a raging river*
Ouch these videos hurt when I see Chris with his Family.
Rest easy friend....I wish I could have met you. You must not have known how many you helped, through your pain over the years. You, Andy, Layne, Chester, Scott, Kurt....you must all be watching over us now to help! Thanks for everything, you 4 octave god!
P.S. The Black Hole Son....ugh the tears
Sweet daddy Cornell. What a proud papa and an amazingly talented man that's just gone way too soon. So loved by so many. RIP Chris. You will be so missed for a very long, long time.
this is so lovely, man. Good night, Legend, be in peace
OMG I'm in tears... he was so amazing
This is just so beautiful and so heartbreaking at the same time. Like so many things in life, the two often go hand in hand.
Heartbreaking and beautiful
lost my brother the same way Chris went. watching this kills me knowing his kids will grow up without their dad.
