Chris Cornell’s widow Vicky responds to late Soundgarden frontman’s posthumous Grammy win

Chris Pratt has been met with conflict by members of political organisation Indivisible on social media after announcing the launch of his new production company, Indivisible Productions.

Cornell died in May 2017.

The surviving members of Soundgarden are firing back at the widow of late frontman Chris Cornell over the ownership of unfinished songs and allegations of missing royalties.

The surviving Soundgarden band members are demanding that Chris Cornell's widow, Vicky, hand over recordings to what they claim are the band's final unreleased tracks. Band members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Hunter Benedict Shepherd say they worked jointly on these final tracks with Cornell and that Vicky Cornell has no right to withhold from them what they call the "final Soundgarden album."

Unreleased Soundgarden tracks are at the centre of the legal row

In December 2019, Vicky Cornell sued the bandmates of her late husband Chris Cornell, claiming that they were withholding royalties from her and her family. Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, and Ben Shepherd have now responded to the lawsuit, as Rolling Stone notes and court records viewed by Pitchfork confirm.

The surviving members of Soundgarden (Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd) today filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them by Vicky Cornell on December 9, in which she alleged the group owes Cornell’s estate hundreds of thousands of dollars in allegedly unpaid royalties and the rights to seven unreleased recordings made before the singer’s death in May of 2017.

The set included 15 classics and two unreleased tracks, including his cover of Sinead O' Conner's "Nothing compares to U". The album also included artwork from Jeff Ament, Barry Ament, and creative director Joe Spix, who were on hand to accept the award. The award is shared with Cornell's widow, plus Jeff Fura, senior director of product development, reports variety.com.

A precious plus-one.
