Chris Cornell's Widow Settles Lawsuit with Soundgarden, Clearing Path for Final Recordings Release.

Chris Cornell's widow, Vicky Cornell, has settled her lawsuit against Soundgarden over royalties from music that she argued Chris initially recorded for a solo project. The two sides came to an agreement on Monday, settling their five-year dispute. Per the lawsuit, Chris made seven recordings in his home in Miami Beach months before his death in 2017. Soundgarden was founded in 1984 and broke nationally during the rise of Seattle’s grunge music scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s.
