Chris Cornell, who first gained fame as the lead singer of Soundgarden and later the band Audioslave, passed away Wednesday night in Detroit, a rep for the singer told the Associated Press.
He was 52.
Cornell’s rep, Brian Bumbery, called the singer’s passing “sudden and unexpected.” The rocker was currently on tour and the rep said his family was shocked by his passing.
Soundgarden was at the forefront of the ’90s grunge music scene that rose out of Seattle. Their hits included “Spoonman,” ”Fell on Black Days,” ”Black Hole Sun,” “My Wave” and “The Day I Tried to Live.”
The band was nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and won two in 1995.
After Soundgarden broke up in 1997, he performed solo for a few years before joining Audioslave, a supergroup that included former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford.
Soundgarden reunited in 2012 and released the band’s sixth studio album, “King Animal.”

A 17,000-ton drilling rig had broken lose and was blown ashore on Scotland’s Isle of Lewis and officials warned on Wednesday that it is now leaking oil.
According to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), two of the four holding tanks aboard the Transocean Winner have been damaged and are releasing an unknown amount of diesel oil. The rig was reportedly carrying 280 metric tonnes of oil.
Environmentalists say that the accident, which occurred in the North Sea off Scotland’s outer Hebrides, highlights why offshore oil drilling is so risky and controversial, as it poses a grave threat to local ecosystems and economies.
“Leaking diesel oil could create a serious problem for wildlife in such a sensitive area, which is often home to whales, dolphins and important seabirds,” said Friends of the Earth Scotland director Dr. Richard Dixon. “The local community is dependent on tourism and fishing, both of which would be badly impacted by a serious spill.”
Further, Dixon notes, “Just seven miles west from the grounding site is the EU-protected Loch Roag coastal lagoons, which form a rare and valuable habitat of marine grasses, seaweeds and sponges.”
According to the BBC, the Transocean rig was being towed from Norway to Malta when it hit bad weather Sunday evening. The tow line reportedly broke in the early Monday hours.
“If the diesel oil leaks into the environment, the clamor for answers as to why such a risky trip was attempted will grow much louder,” Dixon warned. “Why was the rig taking this dangerous route off the mainland in such a storm? How do we make sure that companies don’t repeat these mistakes?”
“Lessons from this incident will need to be learnt, and quickly,” he continued, “with further decommissioning of North Sea rigs expected and climate change expected to create more powerful storms and difficult seas.”
Scottish Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham agreed, saying, “This whole incident raises serious questions about why this rig was being towed through Scottish waters when such stormy conditions were forecast, and the deputy first minister has been in direct contact with the UK government about this very point.”
For a look into the scale of the accident, and its potential consequences, AP posted an alarming video of the rig being battered by the waves along the Scottish coastline.

If your morning commute is as miserable as ours, this impromptu performance will make your day. John Legend stopped by St. Pancras station in London on Tuesday morning, and gave some commuters the personal John Legend concert of their dreams.
The crooner teased the surprise on Twitter as he arrived in the station, writing, “Do they still have that piano there?” They did, of course, and Legend popped a squat on the bench to perform some of his hits like “All of Me” and “Ordinary People” in front of some lucky morning commuters, who must have been pleased to find out that Legend’s voice sounds just as good IRL as it does on the radio.

Apparently, the surprise performance was in honor of International Piano Day, which is further proof that every day should be a holiday of some form of another. Next up, we’re proposing International Cravings Day, where Chrissy Teigen pops up in a New York subway station to cook everyone breakfast.

BRB, going to start the petition.
Update:
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday lost a no-confidence vote by 176-40. That means 81 percent of his party is calling for his resignation.
Sky News reports that “Labour deputy leader Tom Watson and former shadow business secretary Angela Eagle have been meeting. It is believed that the pair are the most likely to attempt a leadership challenge.”
Following the vote, Corbyn released this statement:
In the aftermath of last week’s referendum, our country faces major challenges. Risks to the economy and living standards are growing. The public is divided.
The government is in disarray. Ministers have made it clear they have no exit plan, but are determined to make working people pay with a new round of cuts and tax rises.
Labour has the responsibility to give a lead where the government will not. We need to bring people together, hold the government to account, oppose austerity and set out a path to exit that will protect jobs and incomes.
To do that we need to stand together. Since I was elected leader of our party nine months ago, we have repeatedly defeated the government over its attacks on living standards.
Last month, Labour become the largest party in the local elections. In Thursday’s referendum, a narrow majority voted to leave, but two thirds of Labour supporters backed our call for a remain vote.
I was democratically elected leader of our party for a new kind of politics by 60% of Labour members and supporters, and I will not betray them by resigning. Today’s vote by MPs has no constitutional legitimacy.
We are a democratic party, with a clear constitution. Our people need Labour party members, trade unionists and MPs to unite behind my leadership at a critical time for our country.

Supporters of Jeremy Corbyn rallied on Tuesday as the embattled Labour Party leader faced a no-confidence vote in the ongoing Brexit crisis.
The vote came amid days of internal upheaval, as dozens of members of Corbyn’s shadow cabinet resigned, stating they had lost their faith in his ability to lead the country as the UK faces leaving the European Union. The results of the vote are expected to be announced later Tuesday morning.
An estimated 10,000 people gathered outside of Parliament on Tuesday to express support for Corbyn, who addressed the crowd after the meeting.
“Can we all agree we are going to unite together as one people, one society, one community, to oppose racism?” he said. “Don’t let the people who wish us ill divide us.”
Tuesday’s no-confidence vote is nonbinding. While it would be considered standard procedure for a leader to step down if the majority of his party voted for his resignation, Corbyn is expected to fight what his supporters have said is a coup and an attempt to “introduce a more right-wing Conservative government by the backdoor.”
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell also spoke to the crowd, reassuring supporters that Corbyn would not be ousted.
“Let me say this, let me make this absolutely clear to you,” McDonnell said. “Jeremy Corbyn was elected only nine months ago with the biggest mandate any elected leader has had from the rank and file membership of their party. The biggest. We call that democracy.”
“What we’ve seen over the last few days is a small number of MPs seeking to undermine the democratic decisions of the Labour Party members and the Labour and trade union movement,” he continued. “Let me make it absolutely clear. Jeremy Corbyn is not resigning, he’s staying.”
A spokesperson for Labour said Tuesday that the only way for the party to officially challenge Corbyn would be to collect nominations and launch a new election—which Corbyn has said he would run in.
“The people who elect the leader of the Labour party are the members of the Labour party and Jeremy has made that crystal clear. He’s not going to concede to a corridor coup or backroom deal which tries to flush him out,” the spokesperson told the Guardian. “He was elected by an overwhelming majority of the Labour party. He is not going to betray those people and stand down because of pressure.”
Outside of Parliament on Tuesday, one protester, a doctor who works at a London hospital, told the Telegraph that she supported Corbyn because he had helped prevent the privatization of British healthcare.

“The Labour Party is made up of two things, it’s made up of self interested Blairite MPs,” she said, referring to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, “and the membership which is people like me who want a better type to of politics.”
“Austerity is a false narrative and Corbyn is the only person who has a message which the NHS [National Health Service] will thrive under,” she said.
Speaking to the crowd after the vote, McDonnell also said the “handful of MPs” who were calling for Corbyn’s resignation were allowed to “seek another election.”
As the crowd chanted, “Corbyn, Corbyn, Corbyn,” McDonnell said: “But let me make it clear: if there is another leadership election, Jeremy Corbyn will be standing again and I will be supporting him. This is not about any individual, this is about democracy of the movement.”
The former O.C. star is staging her return to the spotlight, and from what we can see, she’s about to make quite the splash.
Mischa Barton, 31, was spotted in Malibu on Monday, modeling for a 138 Water photo shoot. Water bottle in tow, of course, the actress posed in a patterned bikini top, which she paired with a cropped black jacket and matching skinny jeans. Barton’s look is totally living up to her Instagram handle, @mischamazing—seriously she looks great!

In addition to her modeling gig, Mischa’s also currently filming a horror film with Denise Richards, eerily titled The Toybox.
Barton’s been updating her Insta’ followers with photos from the set.
Not sure if this is a costume, but the former child star’s casual attire is totally reminiscent of the late Marissa Cooper’s signature style. Regardless, we’re loving it.

Congrats, Mischa, can’t wait for your return to the screen!
More than three years after the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory building near Dhaka killed over 1,100 people, a Bangladesh court on Monday formally charged 38 people with murder for their role in the catastrophe.
It’s been described as the worst disaster in the global garment industry’s history.
Thirty-five of those charged—including building owner Sohel Rana—appeared in court on Monday and pleaded not guilty, Reuters reports.
In addition to those charged with murder, three other people were charged with helping Rana flee.
As NPR reported, “Rana Plaza collapsed on April 24, 2013, with hundreds of workers inside. Survivors say workers were forced to go inside the building, even though a visible crack was forming.”
“Tragically,” Michelle Chen wrote at In These Times in the wake of the disaster, “it took the scale of the carnage at Rana Plaza to shine light on a barely regulated industry known for treating its Global South workforce—which profits from vast numbers of rural migrant women workers with few other job options—as disposable tools.”
As Common Dreams has noted, it also “shined a global spotlight on the complicity of U.S.- and Europe-headquartered corporations,” while Joe Westby, corporate campaigner at Amnesty International, wrote that “the images of dead workers in the debris of the collapsed factory have become powerful symbols of the pursuit of profit at the expense of people.”
There have been some improvements in labor conditions in the years since the disaster, Thulsi Narayanasamy, senior international programs officer at War on Want, wrote, such as “The Bangladesh Safety Accord [which] marked the first step towards holding garment companies to account for the working conditions in their supply chains, and [the fact that] now it is no longer contested that the brands are responsible for the human rights abuses that workers face.”
In addition, she continued, “it is finally accepted that … The system is at fault and stacked in favor of the brands: profits come before people.”
Yet, she argued, “global garment brands continue to profit from exploitation of workers in Bangladesh.”
“Three years on,” she wrote, “workers are still forced to work 14-16 hours a day, six days a week, face routine abuse in the workplace, and all for poverty wages that aren’t enough to pay rent in a slum or provide three meals a day.”
Further, as Chen wrote at The Nation in April, “The disaster sparked a spate of reforms to facilitate the creation of new trade unions. But implementation has been systematically hampered by rampant union busting, including excessively strict registration procedures, violent suppression, and the shuttering of factories after workers manage to unionize.”
The trial is set to begin Sept. 18.
