Monday (9/10) was World Suicide Prevention Day and Peter Cornell, brother of Chris Cornell, used it as a platform to share an emotional message about his brother’s suicide that we should all pay attention to.

On May 18th 2017 Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell took his own life in Detroit hotel room. Family, friends, and fans around the world were shocked and devastated. It was yet another tragedy that left all of us, including brother Peter Cornell, wondering ‘could we have done more?’

He wrote in his Facebook post:

In March I sent my Brother an email and asked if he was okay, and he responded, “I got this Brother.”

I am a genius in the world of hindsight. I have all the answers in the time machine of my imagination. The sad truth is I saw something and at the time I didn’t know what it was. I thought success, fortune, beauty, family, immeasurable talent … he’s got this. I never could have imag ined the unimaginable, but I could have pushed way harder to be sure he’s got this…

The message here is important. When it comes to mental health and depression there is no such thing as too many questions. You can’t check up on someone too much. If they say ‘I’ve got this’, don’t believe them.

Push, fight, and support those who are struggling even if they don’t want to hear it. We can all be the reason someone remembers that #TomorrowNeedsYou.

Let’s all be part of the reason we don’t lose these friends, family members, strangers, and artists.

This past Friday Paramore perform in their hometown of Nashville at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. According to E! News, during the performance lead singer Hayley Williams announced they would no longer perform their biggest hit ‘Misery Business’ during shows.

Prior to playing it one last time, she reportedly told the crowd: “ Tonight, we’re playing the song for the last time for a really long time. This is a choice that we have made because we feel that we should. We feel like it’s time to move away from it for a little while…”

She then continued, “This is to every bad decision that led us here. This is to all the embarrassing things we might have said. But we owned up to it, and we grew.”

What do you think of the bands decision to move away from performing the song? Should bands always gave to play the hits at their shows??
