In January 2019, members of late Chris Cornell’s former bands will come together to play a massive star-studded tribute show to the legendary singer.
'I Am the Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell' is set to go down on January 16 at The Forum in Los Angeles and will feature members of Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Temple of the Dog, who will perform some of the timeless music that cemented Cornell's place in rock history.
