Former Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello detailed a text message that Chris Cornell sent him years ago in a new Twitter tribute.
“Today is Holy Thursday, when Jesus had his ‘moment of doubt’ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Here’s my song of that name. The line “If you swallow the coin from the Wishing Well/Your dreams will come true in Heaven or Hell” was text me by #ChrisCornell. Singin’ this for him tonight.”
Tom Morello discussed the final Audioslave concert with Chris Cornell in January 2017 at the Anti-Inaugural Ball in Los Angeles in the liner notes for the new Chris Cornell career retrospective album.
“As much as Chris was a bandmate and friend I never stopped for one second being a huge FAN of his artistry, of his smile, of his ridiculously beautiful hair, of his love of family and of his willingness to help others.
Audioslave reunited at the Anti-Inaugural Ball in January 2017, if only for three songs, if only for one night. It was the last time I saw Chris and what an honor to stand next to his feral rock fury and soaring vocals one last time. He was just SHINING. Looking back on that night and looking back on these records I deeply appreciate that Tim and Brad and I were so blessed to play music with the great Chris Cornell.
So thanks Chris for your beautiful voice, your friendship, and all these world crushing songs.”
