CHRIS CORNELL (SOUNDGARDEN, TEMPLE OF THE DOG) is featured on CNN's Red Chair, in which he talks about alcoholism, Seattle's grunge scene and Kurt Cobain's death. Watch below:

On Monday, September 30th, Cornell will be performing as special guest with THE AVETT BROTHERS on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, airing at 12:35/11:35 Central on NBC.

Cornell will tour again in the Fall, playing a series of intimate Songbook shows highlighting songs from throughout his career.

This is the first time North American fans will hear acoustic arrangements of songs from 2012's critically-acclaimed King Animal, Soundgarden’s first new studio album in over 16 years. American/Sri Lankan folk artist, BHI BHIMAN, will open for Chris.
