Cornell was found dead in his hotel room following a concert in Detroit on May 17th. The initial coroner's report ruled the death a suicide but Vicky had previously expressed her belief that Chris would never intentionally take his own life and said she is awaiting the toxicology test results to see if a prescription drug, known to have a side effort of an increased risk of suicide, played a part.
She has now written a letter to her late husband. She writes, "To My Sweet Christopher, You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through.
"You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn't be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life. Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I'm sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night. I'm sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.
"I'm broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.
I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will. Always and forever, Your Vicky"
Corbitt broke the news via a Facebook video but also followed up with the following message "I was just told an ago I more than likely have stage 3 Esophagus cancer. Still a chance for stage 2. I get into more details on what that means and our plan of attack soon.
"But after much discussion with the doctors and specialist. ..they've told me there's no chance within in any reasonable time that I'll ever be able to perform again.
"So it breaks my heart at this time that I'm forced to announce my retirement from singing. I'm sorry to all of my band mates for letting them down. I'm devastated with all of this hitting me so fast. I'm still in shock.
"Thanks for all of the great support all these years. You're the best fans and I love all of you! We at least have a great Warbeast album and music video coming soon." Watch the video message

His former bandmate Gene Simmons has made headlines in the past with proclamations that rock is dead and Criss appears to agree with that sentiment. He told Hi-Fi Way: The Pop Chronicles, "I think rock 'n' roll is over, personally. I'm a 21st Century guy and I have been around since the day that The Beatles were on stage, I've been around when music was Motown� I've been around!
"What's going on today ain't my cup tea, and that's another reason why I just want to do my shows and call it a day, because the great days of rock is over. The '60s and '70s were the times to be around. I saw Jimi Hendrix, I saw the real Who, the real Zeppelin, The Beatles and seen The Stones many times now that I know them and we're friends. Over the years, a lot has happened to me and I got to see all these great acts, and what I see today doesn't rock my cradle and doesn't do anything for me, and I don't care for a lot of the music."
He the added, "I think you had to be really creative back then and put out great album covers; you had to spend more time doing things. Even playing on stage for the first time, we had to come up with all those crazy stunts and levitating drums. We were early pioneers, and no one was doing that when we started out. Now everyone does it, so it isn't big news anymore.
"It is time for me to get off the train, as it's not a great ride anymore. I don't go out to concerts much anymore because I don't enjoy myself because I get constantly harassed, people with phones wanting to take pictures. I can't really sit and enjoy the concert or have a good time, so I'm more of a homebody these days. The world has changed, my friend."
Taylor tells the Shmonty In The Morning show that he had to deal with Slipknot fans not being happy about Stone Sour's different style for a long time.
"I had a couple shows where I took money out of my own pocket, put it in the dude's hand and got him the hell out of my [Stone Sour] show. It took a long, long time to get over it.
"It was a long journey� well after Through Glass. Honestly, it wasn't even until the House of Gold and Bones albums that it felt like we were really starting to get away from that kind of weirdness."
The collection includes the first-ever stereo mix of the Beach Boys' 1967 classic Wild Honey as well as 54 never-before-heard recordings from album sessions and live appearances. A preorder is available here.

When we wrote this song we were like: "This stuff sounds insanely like one of those rock'n'roll songs that make you wanna instantly dance and have fun!" If you listen to the song, you can feel influences from the old school rock'n'roll scene of the mid-'60s, early-'70s, mixed with some alternative rock vibes from the 90s.
The catchphrase in the refrain, which is "It doesn't make much sense but i like it", basically represents the world we live in today: the infosphere is flooded with tons of contents through social media every single day and it looks like you really don't need a reason to like something. Even if it doesn't make sense, if you see that people share it, than it seems that you have to like it automatically and you just go with the flow, trapped in a system which seems to be designed to decode ourselves and bring our individuality to a point where it's nearly extinct.
The concept for the music video was to create something dizzy, able to transmit that mad, loony vibe which you can feel when you listen to this song. So what is crazier than a guy doing stupid things, ending in insane troubles? And there's also a little surprise when the video finishes so if you're curious, you'll better check it out right about now!
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself here and learn more about the album
