According to
The Pulse Of Radio, a new book on late
SOUNDGARDEN and
AUDIOSLAVE frontman
Chris Cornell, titled
"Total F@&king Godhead: The Biography Of Chris Cornell", will arrive in 2020. The author,
Rolling Stone and
Billboard writer
Corbin Reiff, announced the news in a series of tweets, saying: "I've spent the last year conducting interviews and doing research and can't even begin to describe how excited I am to kick the tires on this."
Reiff mentioned in his tweets that he has interviewed legendary Seattle producer
Jack Endino, who worked on
SOUNDGARDEN's early recordings, as well as Seattle music critic
Dawn Anderson, the first person to ever review the band's music back in 1986. But it is unclear if he has spoken to the members of
Cornell's family or his bandmates in
SOUNDGARDEN,
AUDIOSLAVE or
TEMPLE OF THE DOG.
Cornell, who committed suicide last year, will be honored next month at a tribute concert in Los Angeles, where the remaining members of
SOUNDGARDEN and
AUDIOSLAVE, along with
METALLICA,
FOO FIGHTERS and others, will perform.
A box set featuring music from all three of
Cornell's bands, as well as his solo records, was issued late last month.
Cornell was pronounced dead on May 18, 2017 after being found unresponsive in his Detroit hotel room.
SOUNDGARDEN had played a show earlier that evening. The 52-year-old had sedatives and an anxiety drug in his system, but died as a result of hanging himself.
