Much-loved rocker Chris Cornell has died aged 52.

The singer, who gained fame as the lead singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave, died in Detroit last night.

His rep Brian Bumbery called the death “sudden and unexpected” and said his wife and family were shocked by it.

The statement said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

He was reportedly performing with Soundgarden gig last night at Detroit’s Fox Theatre, part of the band’s North American headline tour.

The American singer was one of the founders of the grunge moment in Seattle in the Nineties, where he formed Soundgarden, best known for their Grammy Award-winning single Black Hole Sun.

He had a four octave vocal range and continued to make music after Soundgarden broke up in 1997, including writing a Bond theme in 2006.
