El 18 de mayo del 2017, a sus 52 vueltas al sol, Christopher John Cornell decidió quitarse la vida y dejar un gran vacío en el mundo del rock.
Dueño de una de las voces más aguardentosas del rock, Cornel formó varias bandas de éxito como Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Alice Mudgarden, su proyecto solista y por supuesto Audioslave, banda conformada por los músicos de Rage Against the Machine.
El cantante fue reconocido el día de ayer con un concierto tributo en los Ángeles. El show histórico dio inicio con la presentación de The Melvins quienes tocaron seis rolas y terminaron con el clásico de Soundgarden “Spoonman”.
El show se extendió durante 42 temas y cinco horas en donde aparecieron Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Josh Homme, Fiona Apple, y Brandi Carlile.
