CHRIS CORNELL To Perform On Tonight's 'Fashion Rocks'

September 9, 2008

Former SOUNDGARDEN and AUDIOSLAVE frontman Chris Cornell will perform his new song "Scream" as part of the TV special "Fashion Rocks 2008" on CBS tonight (Tuesday, September 9). Check your local listings for air times. The charity event was staged at Radio City Music Hall in New York on September 5 and also featured Beyoncé, BLACK EYED PEAS, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Duffy, Fergie, Deborah Harry, Kid Rock (with special guest LYNYRD SKYNYRD),Lil Wayne, One Republic, PUSSYCAT DOLLS, Rihanna, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, and Solange. Proceeds were in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.

Cornell has set October 14 as the release date for his third solo album, titled "Scream". The set was produced by pop and urban mastermind Timbaland, a choice that has proven controversial among fans of Cornell's earlier heavy rock projects. But the singer told The Pulse of Radio that he was always in control of his own record. "A lot of people were concerned about, like, am I gonna do what, for example, Timbaland tells me to do, if he wants to tell me to do something, that kind of thing," he said. "We didn't really have that relationship, it wasn't that type of a process. It was more, he would bring in a beat, an idea, I would write to it and sing it, and we would move on kind of to the next thing."

Timbaland has previously produced albums by MADONNA, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, ASHLEE SIMPSON and many others, in addition to his own projects.

Cornell recently finished a stint on LINKIN PARK's Projekt Revolution tour, which wrapped on August 24 in Texas.

Cornell's previous solo album, "Carry On", was released in the spring of 2007. He officially left AUDIOSLAVE earlier that year.
