Brad Pitt, Courtney Love and other celebrities attended the funeral of guitarist Chris Cornell

A few days ago in the cemetery "Hollywood Forever", the burial ceremony of the body of Chris Cornell, frontman of the musical group Soundgarden, took place.

Farewell ceremony with Chris Cornell

Private ceremony without strangers

The Cornell family decided that the funeral ceremony would be private. Only relatives, friends and colleagues of the musician were allowed to go to her, while Chris's grave visit to the fans was allowed after all the stars had disappeared. It can be seen from the photographs that the guests are experiencing such an unexpected loss. Paparazzi managed to capture how Pitt could hardly restrain his tears, during speeches that were uttered during the burial. After the ceremony was over, and it lasted about 40 minutes, Brad talked with Courtney Love, who also knew the musician personally. True, what celebrities said to the press is not yet known, because Pitt, just like the other guests of the ceremony, refused to say anything to the journalists who were on duty near the entrance to the cemetery.

Brad Pitt

The only one who told the media a few words was the widow of the deceased - Vicky Cornell. Here are the words in her statement:

"I still do not believe that Chris left this world. I very much regret that I could not understand his condition before this tragic step. I'm infinitely sorry that I could not be with him the night he finished it. The police say that that night he was alone. Maybe it is, but I do not believe that it was actually Cornell. That Chris, whom I knew, could never leave this life as it happened. Let him rest in peace. I will endlessly love him. "

Cornell committed suicide

Chris was found dead early in the morning on the 18th of May. His body was found by policemen with a loop around his neck in one of the hotel rooms at the MGM Grand Detroit after a performance in Detroit. The report, which was published in the press, said that Cornell's body had been found to contain tablets that could cause severe depression. Later Vicky suggested that they could provoke Chris thoughts of suicide.
