It's been just over a week since Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell sadly passed away.
The rocker was 52 when he died on May 17th, with the cause of death being confirmed as suicide by hanging.
With many of his colleagues and friends in the music world in mourning, his wife Vicky has written an open letter as a tribute to him.
The note was originally published on Billboard and you can read it below:
"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"
Cornell's funeral is set to take place tomorrow at the Hollywood Forever cemetery in Los Angeles, while he was cremated at a private service attended by his wife, brother and close friends earlier this week.
