Soundgarden, Chris Cornell Estate Settle Dispute, Unreleased Recordings to See Light
Soundgarden and the estate of late lead singer Chris Cornell have reached an amicable settlement over unreleased recordings. The dispute, which began in 2019, has been resolved, allowing fans to hear the final songs the band and Cornell were working on.
The legal battle started when Vicky Cornell, who administers her late husband's estate, sued Soundgarden in 2019. She claimed the band was withholding recordings meant for a solo album by Chris Cornell. Soundgarden, however, counter-sued, asserting the recordings were intended for a Soundgarden album.
The settlement, announced recently, forms a new partnership between Soundgarden and Chris Cornell's estate. This agreement will enable the release of the unreleased tracks, giving fans a chance to hear the final musical works of Cornell and the band.
The settlement, described as amicable, resolves the long-standing dispute over the unreleased recordings. Fans can now look forward to hearing the final songs from both Soundgarden and Chris Cornell, as the estate and the band work together to honour his musical legacy.
