CHRIS CORNELL In Car Crash

October 27, 2006

According to SFGate.com, AUDIOSLAVE frontman Chris Cornell is counting his blessings after a truck careered into his motorcycle in Los Angeles.

The rocker was thrown off his bike and suffered severe cuts and bruises after the accident on Tuesday (Oct. 24).

Although his $50,000 Exile Chopper was smashed beyond repair, Cornell walked away from the crash scene without any serious injuries and returned to work within hours.

A spokesperson tells Page Six, "Chris escaped with very little injury considering the severity of the accident.

"Later that day, he returned to the studio to record his new solo album."

Cornell recently posted a full-length version of his new solo song "You Know My Name" on his MySpace page. Also available at the same location are photos from the video shoot for the track, which took place October 10-11 in the Los Angeles area.

Written and performed by Cornell, "You Know My Name" is the theme song for the new James Bond movie "Casino Royale". A trailer for the movie "Casino Royale" can be viewed at this location.

"Casino Royale", which opens on November 17, will introduce Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play the British agent.

Cornell recently told Launch that he's thrilled to join a a list of performers that includes legends like Tom Jones as well as questionable choices such as A-HA who have penned songs for James Bond films. "Paul McCartney's in there, Tom Jones is in there, which I'm — people might not know this, but I'm a huge Tom Jones fan. I think he's amazing singer," he said. "I had never heard his version of 'Thunderball' until recently. I'm sure I did when I was a kid, but it was 1965 so I was one. But it's great, you know, it's great being part of something like that, historically."

AUDIOSLAVE's third album, "Revelations", was released on September 5.
