Cornell was born on July 20, 1964 in Seattle. He gained fame as a vocalist of the Soundgarden Grange Group, formed in 1984, and thanks to the powerful, almost four-stroke range, he became one of the most recognizable votes of the Granda of the 1990s along with Nirvana and Alice in Chains.

Soundgarden was distinguished by gloomy texts about the meaning of life and death. The group sold 22 million copies of albums and received two Grammy awards. In 1997, Cornell continued his solo career, joining in 2001 to the Audioslave group and remaining in it until its collapse in 2007.

In 2010, Cornell and Soundgarden reunited and in 2012 released the sixth studio album King Animal. In 2017, Cornell released The Promise on iTunes, transferring funds to the International Rescue Committee, and planned to record the new Soundgarden album.

In addition to music, Cornell was engaged in charitable activities and founded the fund of Chris and Vicki Cornell to support children suffering from poverty, violence and cruelty.
