In the biography “In the End”, released by Estética Torta, a little about the friendship between Cornell and Chester and how the latter reacted to the death of the former is told. They both suffered from depression.

“It was a real shock for someone, like Chester, who was unable to ‘peacefully’ accept the death of a loved one. He, who had invoked death so many times throughout his life, was unable to process the umpteenth and tragic loss. friendship with Chris Cornell began in 2008. The two artists shared the same stage, singing each other’s songs.

They got along well right away and from the first moment. Chris was pleasantly surprised by the stubbornness Chester showed in 2007 by continuing to perform despite his broken wrist. They were soulmates. Without a doubt, they saw in each other the same suffering from troubled childhoods, difficult divorces and depression.”

In another excerpt, the statement that Chester gave when he found out about the tragic event appears. “I dreamed about the Beatles last night. I woke up with ‘Rocky Racoon’ in my head and my wife’s worried look in front of me. She told me that my friend had just died.

My head filled with your memories, and I cried. I continue to cry, with sadness and gratitude for having shared such special moments with you and your dear family. You have inspired me in so many ways you can’t even imagine. His talent was pure and incomparable, his voice was joy and pain, anger and forgiveness, love and sadness, all together. I think that’s the essence of who we all are. You helped me understand this. I just saw a video where you sang ‘A Day in the Life’ by the Beatles, and I remembered my dream.”
