CHRIS CORNELL Parts Ways With Management

October 23, 2007

According to the New York Post's Page Six, former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN frontman Chris Cornell is following in Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears' footsteps, leaving Jeff Kwatinetz and Rick Yorn's management company The Firm. Insiders told Page Six that after The Firm signed train-wreck Spears, Cornell, who was working with the outfit to produce his solo album, "lost faith in management" and "didn't want to be associated with them any longer." A rep for Cornell confirmed, "Chris decided to make a change with management. He has had a long relationship with The Firm and wishes them the best moving forward."

Cornell issued his first solo effort, "Euphoria Morning", in 1999. He teamed with three members of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to form AUDIOSLAVE in 2002. That band made three albums before Cornell left earlier this year, effectively ending the group.

Cornell's new CD, "Carry On", came out in early June and features his cover of MICHAEL JACKSON's "Billie Jean" as well as "You Know My Name", his theme song for the James Bond film "Casino Royale".
