Soundgarden

In 2007, the year of the live performance at Live Earth featuring Chris Cornell, Soundgarden was not actively releasing new music, as the band had disbanded in 1997. However, Cornell had embarked on a successful solo career following the band's breakup. Prior to this event, Soundgarden's last studio album was "Down on the Upside," released in 1996. Although Soundgarden had not reunited at the time of the concert, their music, particularly "Black Hole Sun," remained influential in the rock landscape, and the performance showcased Cornell's powerful vocals and stage presence. Notably, the Live Earth concert aimed to bring attention to global climate issues, adding an important context to the performance. In 2010, Soundgarden would eventually reunite, reigniting their legacy as one of the seminal bands of the grunge era.
