Back in November, it was announced that some of rock’s most notable names would be banding together to pay tribute to the late Chris Cornell. Foo Fighters, Metallica, Ryan Adams and members of his former bands Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog will all appear at the tribute, “I Am the Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell”.
The concert kicks off at The Forum in Los Angeles on January 16th.
Today it was announced that a bunch of fantastic musicians would be joining the already stacked lineup. Fiona Apple, Chris Stapleton, Miley Cyrus, Miguel, and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme will all be paying tribute to Cornell. Earlier it was revealed that Faith No More frontman Mike Patton would also be joining the benefit.
In a statement, Chris’ wife Vicky shared:
“We are honoured to have all these amazing artists and friends come together to pay tribute to and show their love and appreciation for Chris, his music and the mark he’s left on the world. We look forward to sharing this night with all the fans.”
