CHRIS CORNELL's Widow Sues SOUNDGARDEN, Again

TMZ is reporting that Chris Cornell's widow, Vicky Cornell, is once again suing Soundgarden.

Says TMZ: "Chris Cornell's widow claims she's getting absurdly lowballed by Soundgarden as far as her stake in the band... so she wants a judge to set things straight. Vicky Cornell is suing the rock band yet again in the wake of Chris' death in 2017... this time because she claims they can't reach a deal over a buyout price.

"According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Vicky says the 3 remaining band members offered her just $300k for Chris' share... an amount she claims is less than what she got for her cut of just the 2018 royalties for Soundgarden's masters. Vicky also alleges the lowball is obvious because the guys in the band got an offer of $16 million from an outside investor for Soundgarden's masters - that would mean $4 mill each, for the band members and Vicky."
