CHRIS CORNELL: Laryngitis Forces Orlando Show Postponement
November 4, 2011Due to laryngitis caused by flu, SOUNDGARDEN/ex-AUDIOSLAVE singer Chris Cornell is unable to perform tonight (Friday, November 4) at Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida and the show must be postponed. A new date will be announced as soon as possible. All tickets for tonight's concert will be honored at the rescheduled date. Refunds are available at point of purchase.
Although Cornell has been recording a new album with SOUNDGARDEN for the first time in 15 years, he continues to work as a solo artist as well. He told Spin.com how it's different from playing with a band. "An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified," Cornell explained. "I'm very nervous about it, but I love the intimacy. Once you sit in front of people and start playing songs, it's all on you. No matter what happens, it's entirely your responsibility the entire time. I like that intensity."
Cornell told The Pulse Of Radio that he sees working with SOUNDGARDEN again as having a positive influence on his solo career. "One thing about a solo artist is you can just be in a room way too long with yourself and your own thoughts and your own songs, and it feels really good to be working with Ben (Shepherd, bassist) and Matt (Cameron, drummer) and Kim (Thayil, guitarist) again, and it's actually a really nice reprieve also from just being alone, doing what I do," he said. "It's helping with the balance, I think, too."
Cornell has issued three solo albums. The last one, 2009's "Scream", was trashed by critics and fans for abandoning Cornell's rock roots for an urban pop sound.
