CHRIS CORNELL Pulls Out Of SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL

September 4, 2009

Former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN vocalist Chris Cornell has released the following statement:

"Due to unforeseen band scheduling conflicts for September 12, Chris Cornell will regretfully not be performing at the Sunset Strip Music Festival in Los Angeles. Cornell will still be attending the Virgin America airline party on September 11, and he will also attend the scheduled VIP meet-and-greets for the winners of the Sunset Strip Music Festival radio contest. He would like to apologize to all the fans who were looking forward to seeing his performance at the festival."

The second annual Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) includes the first-ever street closure of Sunset Blvd. on Saturday, September 12. There will be 40-plus music acts throughout the day performing on two stages set up on the street and on club stages within the street closure — Key Club, The Roxy Theatre, Cat Club and Whisky A Go-Go.

West Hollywood's Sunset Strip has birthed countless music and entertainment careers, and it continues to blaze its own path as leading destination with a vibrant and entertaining landscape. The Strip's six signature music venues will host dozens of various musical acts in addition to the aforementioned Strip street closure on the closing day of the festival.

Cornell has been touring in support of his 2008 Timbaland-produced solo album, "Scream", which has bitterly divided fans over its urban pop sound.
