A lot has been written about Chris Cornell since his untimely death, but not much of it has focused on him as a father and husband. When I shared my thoughts about Chris Cornell and wrote about my experience interviewing him in 2005 I was using my platform here to help process my own grief but I also wanted to try to shed a little light on Chris Cornell’s life as a family man.
Last night I digitized my mini-tape recording of my conversation with Chris. Listening to the recording for the first time in 12 years was a sad trip down memory lane, but two comments from Chris stood out and I wanted to share them here so fans can hear Chris’ words for themselves.
The first comments are from a throwaway end of interview question. I asked Chris if there was anything else he wanted to add or if there was anything he wanted to say to his fans in Seattle. His response was a humbled thank you.
The second comment is something that I published in both the feature I wrote about Chris as a family man back in 2005 and in my thoughts on his death. While it’s something you may have already read, I thought it was appropriate to share here so fans can hear Chris talk about his family and how they have helped inspire his music.
