When Chris Cornell died aged 52 in May 2017, alternative music lost not just one of its most distinctive voices, but one of its most charismatic frontpeople and introspective lyricists. While it’s impossible for anyone to fill the void that the Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple Of The Dog frontman left behind, a new, star-studded project is sustaining his legacy, releasing covers to raise money for charity.
Members of Mastodon, Alice In Chains and even Soundgarden themselves have already taken part in King Ultramega, corralled by Metal Allegiance ringleader and decades-long Cornell fan Mark Menghi.
