Chris Cornell’s mother-in-law Toni Karayiannis has shared a series of new tweets detailing how Cornell’s widow Vicky Cornell and ex-wife Susan Silver have bonded since Chris’ death, and how Cornell’s three children Lily, Toni, and Christopher have consoled each other.
Chris and Susan were married from 1990 until 2004, with Susan giving birth to Lily in 2000. They had an ugly divorce involving a lengthy legal battle over Chris’ guitars. Chris and Vicky were married from 2004 until Cornell’s death last month.
