Soundgarden

In 2007, Chris Cornell performed "Black Hole Sun" during his appearance on The Howard Stern Show, a notable highlight considering that the song is one of Soundgarden's most celebrated tracks. By this time, Soundgarden had disbanded in 1997, and Cornell was pursuing a solo career. He released his second solo album, "Carry On," in 2007, which features a mix of original compositions and covers. The performance marked a significant moment as Cornell reflected on his time with Soundgarden, sharing insights on the writing process behind "Black Hole Sun." This song played a crucial role in defining the band's sound during the grunge era of the early '90s. Cornell's live rendition in this setting not only underscored the enduring legacy of Soundgarden but also showcased his versatility as a solo artist. This performance stands as a testament to his continued influence in rock music long after the band’s initial peak.
