Chris Cornell’s widow, Vicky Cornell, posted a snippet of a PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SONG, teases “MORE TO COME.”
On Saturday, July 20th, on what would have been Chris’ 60th birthday, Vicky posted a touching tribute to her late husband on Instagram that included a snippet of an unreleased cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” along with various clips of the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman throughout his life.
“Chris would have turned 60 today,” she wrote. “Although everyone that loved him is sad that he’s no longer here, it’s all of you, the fans who made him, whose love has continued to keep his legacy alive. I’m so grateful to you all for that. While I remember him best as the wonderful husband, father and human being he was – I’d like to celebrate his whole life and everything he gave us.”
She continued, teasing that we may soon hear more unreleased tracks from the vault: “On his 60th we can all celebrate his genius as an artist who redefined music, but also the incredible man who touched and changed lives. He’s an icon, and he gave us all so much – his unique voice, his poetry, his creativity… his life was a gift to so many. And as you can hear – there’s more to come!!! Sharing this to thank you all for your love and support and come together in celebrating …. We love you Chris – happy birthday!”
Chris Cornell New Album In 2024
In 2020, Chris’ estate released “No One Sings Like You Anymore: Volume One” which contained 10 songs handpicked and recorded by Chris in 2016 – just one year before his death – and included tracks by John Lennon, Prince, Guns N’ Roses, Electric Light Orchestra, Janis Joplin, and more.
With writing “there’s more to come”, it seems Vicky may be hinting at both a possible release of “Fast Car” as well as other previously unheard music by Chris Cornell – maybe even a “No One Sings Like You Anymore: Volume Two”.
It’s also possible that we could soon be getting an unreleased Soundgarden album. In 2023, Vicky and the surviving members of Soundgarden “reached an amicable out of court resolution”, ending a long legal dispute, and allowing for the release of “the final songs that the band and Chris were working on” before his death.
