Chris Cornell has paid tribute to Michael Jackson, who died yesterday. Chris told NME: "I was on my way from Poland to Berlin
following a show. At 1am I got the news and was immediately saddened,”
he said. "I remembered being six years old and seeing the Jackson 5 on our black and white TV. His brothers were cool but he had a halo around him. "Superstar at 12. What promise. He had magic! It was by chance that I recorded and rearranged his song 'Billie
Jean' and have been amazed at the response it gets when I perform it
every night. He was amazingly talented and largely misunderstood.
"I hope that the media will be kind and celebrate the genius instead of
cashing in on the tabloid angles that made him a prisoner. I think he
deserves that."

"Cornell, a heavy-rock icon twice over, first with Soundgarden, then
Audioslave, can shrug aside this negative hysteria because he knows
that, actually, Scream is a pretty good record. Sure, hearing that
famous molasses croon against a backdrop of caffeinated Timbaland beats
takes getting used to -- but it's an album worth stepping outside your
comfort zone for." From Chris Cornell's cover feature in the Irish Independent's Day & Night - read the whole article by Ed Power HERE.
