A Detroit police spokesman said officers were called to Cornell's hotel around midnight by a friend of the musician. "When officers went to the room they found Chris Cornell laying in his bathroom, unresponsive and he had passed away. Cornell, the lead singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, had tweeted earlier on Wednesday: "#Detroit finally back to Rock City !!!! It’s what we missed when we weren’t a band,” Cornell had posted on Facebook on Tuesday. Led Zeppelin singer Jimmy Page led tributes on Thursday to Cornell, calling him on Twitter "Incredibly Talented, Incredibly Young, Incredibly Missed."
