Grunge Plunge! ‘Soundgarden’ Gig Comes with Faceplant as Singer Fell on More Than Black Days
Surviving members of Soundgarden, along with a new lead singer, did a recent charity concert in Seattle. You’ll recall lead singer Chris Cornell sadly passed away in 2017. His replacement, Shaina Shepherd, does not share Cornell’s slender frame, she’s a much larger woman if you catch our meaning. So, concertgoers were quite shocked when she attempted to crowd surf during the show.
She hit the floor with a thud. (WATCH – LANGUAGE WARNING)

Crowd surfing requires a suspecting sea of concertgoers to catch you and act like a wave. Unfortunately, this crowd decided to part like the Red Sea leaving nowhere for Shepherd to go but the hard floor. Many commenters are wondering what she was thinking?
That’s terrible but that’s the thing about crowdsurfing. At a low weight, you’re a surfer and the crowd is your wave. At a higher weight, the crowd sees you as an incoming projectile to dodge. Science!

Look at the group she expected to carry her. Most of them couldn’t carry a bag of groceries.

Considering Soundgarden fans are most likely in their 40’s and 50’s… I’d pass too! Our backs hurt already

We aging rockers like our music heavy, but prefer our singers not to be. Especially, if there’s going to be crowd surfing involved.
Of course, meme-makers couldn’t stop themselves from adding their humor to the whole situation.
I wouldn’t try to catch her without one of these. pic.twitter.com/J8YurS8Vx8

These Soundgarden members along with their new singer go by the name Nudedragons. It’s unknown if they will continue performing past this one charity gig. We’re pretty sure crowd surfing is definitely not in the future for the singer.
