Chris Cornell Wins Posthumous Grammy Award

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

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.

"I am grateful to everyone who helped create such a beautiful work of art"

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.

At Sunday night's Grammy Awards (Jan. 26), Finneas O'Connell turned out to be a major winner — Billie Eilish's brother and producer snagged five Grammys in one evening, including song, record and album of the year, along with producer of the year and best engineered album.

As you probably know, Lizzo was nominated for a BUNCH of Grammy awards this year, including Best Pop Solo Performance. And as much as she deserves to take home enough hardware to fill a U-Haul, you have to admit the category was stacked. The "Truth Hurts" singer was up against Taylor Swift for "You Need to Calm Down," Ariana Grande for "7 Rings," Billie Eilish for "Bad Guy," and Beyoncé for "Spirit." Yes, BEYONCÉ.

Tyler, the Grammy winner!

Before DJ Khaled, John Legend, and a host of others pay tribute to Nipsey Hussle tonight, the Los Angeles rapper became a Grammy winner for the first time. 

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus have already triumphed in two categories at the 2020 Grammy Awards, and they've dedicated their early wins to Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, hours after they tragically lost their lives in a terrible crash.
