Vicky Cornell has hired artist and sculptor Wayne Toth to create a statue of Chris Cornell to be placed in Seattle, the Seattle Times reports. Toth has already given a design to the Cornell family, and the statue will take seven months to complete. Attorney Mark Johnson is searching for a location. Toth created the iconic Johnny Ramone statue at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
