CHRIS CORNELL POSTPONES EUROPEAN TOUR UNTIL FALL 2008

THIRD SOLO ALBUM PRODUCED BY TIMBALAND DUE OUT IN SEPTEMBER ON MOSLEY MUSIC / INTERSCOPE RECORDS

Los Angeles, CA – Pioneering rock singer/songwriter Chris Cornell has postponed his upcoming European Tour, originally slated to begin in Holland on May 31st, until the Fall. The acclaimed, multi-platinum former lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave is holed up in the studio with super producer Timbaland, continuing work on his third solo CD, tentatively slated for a September 2008 release on Interscope Records.

Having already laid down 14 tracks for the forthcoming disc, Timbaland has called his collaboration with Cornell “his best work ever.”

“Due to an extended recording schedule, I will be able to perform in front of my European fans a few months later than expected. With that said, I plan on touring extensively through Europe and the rest of the world through 2008-2009,” said Cornell.

If you happened to miss Chris's interview with Ryan Seacrest, head on over to the 102.7 KIIS-FM website to listen. In the interview, Chris discusses American Idol contestant David Cook's great performance of "Billie Jean". Chris is later joined by Timbaland and the two proceed to announce Chris's upcoming third solo album, which Timbaland produced.

KIIS-FM Ryan Seacrest/Chris Cornell Interview

3 new videos have been added to the Chris Cornell (CC) YouTube Channel. Peter Thorn has contributed an excellent video he put together cataloging the bands recent trip to South Africa. Video has been added from My Coke Fest '08 of CC and Coca Cola Superfan Gareth practicing "Scar on the Sky" before the show and performing the song onstage during the show.

Chris was recently featured in an AOL poll asking fans who's version of "Billie Jean" was best. Between David Cook, Michael Jackson, and Chris Cornell, Chris's fans have cast 46% of the vote with over 57,000 votes! Another poll asks whether David Cook should be considered brave for performing other artists' covers, 62% say yes and we agree.

Over on CC's Myspace Page we have a CC Song Of The Week. This week we asked the fans to let us know what song they wanted as the CC Song Of The Week. "Billie Jean" easily became the most requested song and was selected.

We are using an acoustic version of the song performed by CC in Stockholm, Sweden on September 7, 2006. For those who did not know, this is also the first time CC played his rendition of the song in front of a live audience.

You can listen to the song on CC's Myspace or the site here:
Chris Cornell - "Billie Jean" Unplugged in Stockholm Sweden

If you are interested in a full-band live performance of the song, you can see a video of CC at MSN in May 2007 on the site here:

If you are interested in the album version that appears on CC's latest solo record Carry On, head on over to

Next week, we will let you guys decide the CC Song Of The Week again.

Enjoy!

CC will be on Ryan Seacrest's radio show "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" this morning (March 27). The show can be heard on Los Angeles, CA radio station 102.7 KIIS-FM and takes place from 5:00-10:00 AM (Pacific Time)

The show can listened to in the Los Angeles area or live online at http://ryan.kiisfm.com/main.html

Hello everyone.

I am on a plane from Cape Town to Johannesburg, then back home to Paris. Just played South Africa for the first time ever and as I leave I again feel very lucky to be able to do what I do as my life’s work.

The country is beautiful. The weather, the water, the mountains, but as usual, for me what really matters is the people. The fans and the South Africans that we met have all been amazingly warm and friendly. Getting this kind of reception so far away from home always moves me. This has been another on a long list of firsts for me in the last year.

As a solo artist I can finally move unencumbered; making my world as big as possible and playing music for as many people around the world who will show up to listen.

I have been working on a lot of new stuff that I will tell you about later.

Peace. CC

Last night, American Idol contestant David Cook performed CC's rendition of the Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean".

Great performance David! For those who missed it, here's a video of David's performance with Ryan Seacrest introducing the song. We have also included a video of Chris performing the song May of last year for MSN.
