Chris Cornell honored at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony
CLEVELAND -- Two icons in music delivered a powerful tribute to Soundgarden's late frontman, Chris Cornell Saturday night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Ann Wilson of Heart honored Cornell with a commanding rendition of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun."
Cornell hanged himself in a Detroit hotel hours after a Soundgarden concert there last May. He was 52 years old.
