Soundgarden and Chris Cornell's Estate Settle Lawsuits, Clearing Path for Release of Final Recordings.

Soundgarden and Chris Cornell's estate have settled their legal battle over seven unreleased tracks recorded before Cornell's death in 2017. The reconciliation will allow the band to release the final songs that they were working on with Cornell. The dispute began in 2019 when Vicky Cornell sued the band, accusing them of withholding royalties. Soundgarden countered that the recordings were from band writing and recording sessions that dated back to 2015. The settlement marks a new partnership between the two parties, but it is unclear when the music will be released.
