CHRIS CORNELL Performs 'Black Hole Sun' With PETER FRAMPTON; Video Available

November 15, 2007

Former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN singer Chris Cornell was joined on stage last night (Wednesday, November 14) at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, Tennessee by rock legend Peter Frampton for a rendition of the SOUNDGARDEN classic "Black Hole Sun". Watch fan-filmed video footage of the performance below.

Earlier this year Peter Frampton said it was because he "loved" Cornell's work in AUDIOSLAVE (2001-2007) and SOUNDGARDEN (1984-1997) that he recorded an instrumental version of "Black Hole Sun". The track earned the veteran rocker a 2006 Grammy nomination.

Speaking to KansasCity.com recently, Cornell said, "My wife (Paris-based publicist Vicky Karayiannis) has the computer right now. Otherwise I would go on iTunes and buy (Frampton's version of 'Black Hole Sun'). I'm looking for music for the end of (my) show, when people are walking out. I thought I could use different versions of 'Black Hole Sun'. Before I investigated it, I counted four or five versions; there are 22.

"The weird thing is, if you put me in a time machine and sent me back to the time when 'Frampton Comes Alive' was the biggest album on the planet, when I was (about) 10, and you told me one day he would do one of your songs and say wonderful things about you — that's fantasyland, especially for someone who grew up in a place (Seattle) where you didn't hear anyone who had an impact on the rest of the planet. It makes me feel good about doing what I do."
