It was confirmed in the early hours of this morning that Chris Cornell has sadly passed away while on tour with his band Soundgarden. As well as fronting and writing for his various rock bands, the American musician, singer and songwriter was famed for his huge vocal range, powerful belting technique and for writing some of the most iconic movie theme songs of recent years.
Let’s take a few moments to appreciate some of the artist’s greatest works.
4. The Avengers – ‘Live to Rise’
‘Live to Rise’ was the first song to be fully recorded and released by Soundgarden after the band reformed in 2010. It is a riff-heavy rock ballad that was reviewed as “the incredible hulk on this all-star soundtrack for the all-star superhero movie The Avengers” by USA Today.
