Footage of some of rock music’s most respected names paying tribute to Chris Cornell has surfaced, with the musical icons covering Audioslave’s ‘Show Me How To Live’.
Back in November, it was revealed that a Chris Cornell tribute concert was set to be held in honour of the late rocker, who passed away in 2017.
Earlier this year, the concert took place, with the likes of Josh Homme, Mike Patton, Miley Cyrus, and Fiona Apple all performing in Cornell’s honour. Likewise, a number of members from Chris Cornell’s previous bands – including Soundgarden and Temple Of The Dog – also performed on the night.
However, one of the most intriguing of these performances was undoubtedly that of a semi-reformed Audioslave. Featuring guest musicians from the likes of Rise Against, Jane’s Addiction, and Black Sabbath, some of the group’s biggest hits were performed live for the first time since Cornell’s passing.
Now, the official Instagram page for the late rocker has shared some pro-shot footage of this performance.
Sharing footage of the group’s performance of ‘Show Me How To Live’, we’re able to witness Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl taking over lead vocals, while Metallica’s Robert Trujillo performs bass.
Meanwhile, Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello and Brad Wilk took assumed their original roles in the group, delivering the track’s iconic guitar lines and drum beats.

At this stage, it isn’t clear whether or not this footage or the performances from the night will see an official audio or video release, but it’s obvious that a lot of talent and love went into the January tribute to Chris Cornell.
In recent news, Cornell’s children appeared at the Grammy awards to accept a posthumous honour on their dad’s behalf, having won the Best Rock Performance award for ‘When Bad Does Good’.
“While he touched the hearts of millions, the most important thing he is known for us is for being the greatest father and our hero,” noted Christopher Cornell.
