Thank you Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for nominating Soundgarden for induction in 2023! I know that Chris would be so proud and his fans will be so happy to see his band recognised and honored.
On Chris’s behalf, I want to thank every one of you in advance for your love and support for his music and legacy. Please take a minute to vote HERE.
Soundgarden released their comeback album 10 years ago. King Animal was recorded in Seattle (produced by Adam Kasper) except for Chris’s vocals which were all recorded in his home studio, TnC studio, which was named after Toni and Christopher Jr.
In the United States, the album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200.
Over 1 Billion views!!!! So proud of you – I hope you can see it, I know it would make you so happy! I remember when this video came out, every time I’d turn on the tv there you were, every single time without fail. You’d tell me it was a sign that you were my soul mate…. I love you so much and I’m so so proud and our babies are so so very proud. Christopher saw it before anyone, over a week ago and came running to the kitchen to show me; just beaming with pride for his daddy. We miss you and love you so very much.

We are so happy to have received the news today- truly so very grateful and humbled that Chris has just been nominated for TWO Grammy awards- ‘NOTHING COMPARES 2 U’ for BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE (thank you to the Prince Estate)

“It is true a man is not dead while his name is still spoken…and through his art, an artists soul still burns just as bright as ever upon all of those that look up to him & his memory”
LOUD LOVE ALWAYS ❤️Vicky, Toni and Christopher
We’re working on a new video project for my dad and want you guys to participate – We’re going to put something special together using YOUR footage.
We are asking you to submit your videos to the Cinebody App of him playing live or of any clips you might have of your personal interactions with him. It would also be great if you had anything from your experience at a show, like videos of you and your friends arriving, the marquee of the venue, etc. Can’t wait to see what you all have!
– Toni Cornell
Chris has been nominated for ‘Rock Song of the Year’ at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards for his rendition of “Patience”.
Today, Vicky Cornell and her children, Toni and Christopher, on behalf of The Chris Cornell Estate, release ‘No One Sings Like You Anymore,’ Chris Cornell’s handpicked collection of 10 cover songs, which he personally selected and sequenced to celebrate artists and songs that inspired him. Recorded by Chris in 2016, the album, which is his last fully completed studio album, features his renditions of John Lennon’s “Watching The Wheels,” Ghostland Observatory’s “Sad Sad City,” Harry Nilsson’s “Jump Into The Fire,” Carl Hall’s “You Don’t Know Nothing About Love,” Electric Light Orchestra’s “Showdown,” Terry Reid’s “To Be Treated Rite”, Lorraine Ellison’s “Stay With Me Baby”, “Get It While You Can,” popularized by Janis Joplin, and a new studio recording of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” written by Prince. ‘No One Sings Like You Anymore’ is available now at https://chriscornell.lnk.to/NoOneSingsLikeYou.
His birthday seemed the perfect time to share this and celebrate Chris, his voice, music, stories and art. It is true a man is not dead while his name is still spoken…and, through his art, an artist’s soul still burns just as bright as ever upon all those that look up to him and his memory. Releasing music that was special to Chris keeps a part of him here with us- his heart and his soul. His love and his legacy.
CONGRATULATIONS Soundgarden!!! I know Chris would be so honored! Thank you Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
