Soundgarden

The family of Chris Cornell recently released a video for the Soundgarden singer’s cover of John Lennon’s “Watching The Wheels.” The lyric video was shared this week, and Cornell’s wife and kids were able to chat with fans during the premiere.

Vicky Cornell, along with her children, have released a new collection of cover songs by late Seattle musician Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave fame on behalf of The Chris Cornell Estate.

Lily Cornell made a striking singing debut during the MoPOP Founders Award ceremony Tuesday night, covering an Alice in Chains classic, “Black Gives Way to Blue.”

In a statement to SPIN and Pitchfork, a rep for the Cornell estate says Black Days “is not sanctioned or approved by the estate. No one contacted the estate for any information.”

Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder joined Lily Cornell Silver on her weekly IGTV series to discuss mental health as it is affected by societal and political factors as well as Eddie’s own experiences, and the importance of activism and empathy at large.

That statue is located outside Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture. It was unveiled in October 2018 during a ceremony attended by Chris’ three children Lily, Toni and Christopher, and his Soundgarden band mates Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd.

Today, the Estate of Chris Cornell has released his haunting cover of the Guns N’ Roses ‘Lies’ classic “Patience,” to commemorate what would have been his 56th birthday.

Surviving Soundgarden members Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron worked with Brandi Carlile, as well as her frequent musical partners Phil and Tim Hanseroth, on the song which will be released on vinyl September 26th.

The launch of Mind Wide Open coincides with Monday’s three-year anniversary of Chris’ death. That’s no accident: Lily says she’s starting the series “in honor” of her late father.

Momsen is a big Soundgarden fan, and The Pretty Reckless were opening for the grunge giants on the tour during which Cornell died. She also performed during the 2019 star-studded Cornell tribute concert.
