SOUNDGARDEN members still argue with CHRIS CORNELL’s estate, last songs will not be released anytime soon

Sound Garden and the estate of the deceased singer Chris Cornell seemed to have reached an agreement in April that would allow them to release their final material with Cornell on singing.

By the time, Sound Garden And Chris Cornell‘s widow Vicky Cornell issued a joint statement saying that the two parties had “reached an amicable out-of-court solution. The reconciliation marks a new partnership between the two parties that will enable Sound Garden Fans around the world can hear the last songs that the band and Chris that we have been working on.”

Despite the positive joint statement in April, there still seem to be problems behind the scenes. According to drummer Matt Cameron in an interview with The Vinyl Guide Podcast, the dispute is not over yet and fans should not expect these final Sound Garden Songs in 2024.

“We are still in the middle of a dispute with the estate,” said Cameron“Everything is on hold at the moment. At the moment it doesn’t look like it will happen next year. Hopefully soon. I’m not giving up hope.”

Chris Cornell committed suicide on May 18, 2017. His last attempt with Sound Garden was that King Animal album in 2012, although new material was in the works between King Animal And Cornell‘s death.

According to bassist Ben Schaefer And Cameron in an interview in 2016, Sound Garden was deep into the writing process for a new album and planned a third writing session for this August. “I think we have six solid songs now, we’ll meet for about a week in August, keep writing and hopefully have five or six more done by then. We’re off to a very good start,” said Cameron by the time.
