Before Pearl Jam’s show at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Chris Cornell songs were played in honor of the iconic Soundgarden frontman in the hours leading up to the show. No other artists were played, and the Chris Cornell playlist drove some fans to tears. Pearl Jam later covered Cornell’s “Missing” at the show.
You can view tweets from fans below, followed by video of “Missing.”

Loved hearing a heavy dose of @chriscornell music prior to the @PearlJam show at #Wrigley tonight. Last time I was up this way (Alpine Valley), Chris came out and sung a few…that was special.

This all-@chriscornell pre-show playlist for @PearlJam is seriously bringing the feels. Usually it’s song 1.5 before the tears start. We’re fu*%ed. #PearlJamWrigley #RIPChrisCornell CC @vickycornell
