The daughter of the late Soundgarden/Audioslave singer Chris Cornell took part this week in the Lolla2020 livestream, singing Pearl Jam’s “Black”. Toni Cornell dedicated the song, which can be seen below, to her father who died in 2017.
Lollapalooza was canceled this year due to COVID-19, but they decided to shift the festivities online with bands sharing archived performances or newly recorded material for the event.
In April, during the LiveXLive’s “Music Lives” global digital music festival for MusiCares,the 15-year-old played an acoustic version of Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike” in her dad’s home studio, which can be seen below.

Total F*cking Godhead – The Biography Of Chris Cornell, the first comprehensive book about the late singer, is available now. The book, written by Seattle resident and rock writer Corbin Reiff, takes input from those who knew and worked with Cornell along with the late singer’s own words. Total F*cking Godhead recounts the rise of Chris Cornell and his band Soundgarden as they emerged from the 1980s post-punk underground to dominate popular culture in the ’90s alongside Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Nirvana.
