Listen To Chris Cornell’s Previously Unreleased Cover Of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Patience’

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell would have turned 56 today. Cornell’s family celebrated the occasion by unveiling a previously unreleased cover of Guns N’ Roses‘ “Patience” Chris recorded.

“His birthday seemed the perfect time to share this and celebrate Chris, his voice, music, stories and art,” reads a note from the Cornell family. “It is true a man is not dead while his name is still spoken…and, through his art, an artist’s soul still burns just as bright as ever upon all those that look up to him and his memory. Releasing music that was special to Chris keeps a part of him here with us- his heart and his soul. His love and his legacy.”

Chris Cornell was born on July 20, 1964 in Detroit. The vocalist and songwriter was a co-founding member of legendary rock band Soundgarden and teamed up with members of Rage Against The Machine as Audioslave. Cornell died by suicide after a Soundgarden gig in Detroit on May 18, 2017.
