Tonight on The Artist Hour, we honour one of rock's most powerful and unmistakable voices: Chris Cornell.

From the thunderous depths of Soundgarden to the politically-charged riffs of Audioslave, and the stripped-down beauty of his solo work, Cornell’s music continues to resonate with raw emotion and timeless urgency. Join us from 8pm as we explore the full scope of his career, from the grunge-laden streets of Seattle to his late-career reinvention as a masterful singer-songwriter.

Expect a mix of essential tracks including Soundgarden staples like Black Hole Sun and Fell on Black Days. Audioslave's Like a Stone and Show Me How to Live. Solo standouts including Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart and You Know My Name (his Bond theme) and some interesting covers for good measure.

More than just a frontman, Cornell was a writer of rare honesty, a vocalist of remarkable range, and an artist unafraid to evolve.

Tune in tonight at 8pm on Today Radio for an hour of music that cuts deep and stays with you.
