Chris Cornell to be buried in a private ceremony on May 26

Chris Cornell - frontman of Soundgarden - took his life on May 17, right after a Detroit show. He will be buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, during a private funeral service scheduled for Friday May 26, according to "The Hollywood Reporter".

The 52-year-old singer was found dead in a hotel room and a medical examiner ruled the death a suicide by hanging, a claim that has been contested by Cornell’s family.

The Hollywood Forever Ceremony is the final resting spot for many stars of Old Hollywood, including Rudoph Valentino, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Douglas Fairbanks and Peter Lorre, as well as Johnny Ramone of The Ramones. In recent years, the cemetery has hosted regular concerts and film screenings.
