Chris Cornell’s widow is teasing another posthumous album

Back in 2020, there was a posthumous Chris Cornell album called Nobody Sings Like You Anymore Vol. 1. That screams a volume 2, doesn’t it?

This past Saturday (July 20) would have been Chris’ 60th birthday. Vicky Cornell took the opportunity to upload a video of Chris singing “Fast Car,” the Tracy Chapman song.

It’s captioned thusly:

“Although everyone that loved him is sad that he’s no longer here, it’s all of you, the fans who made him, whose love has continued to keep his legacy alive,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful to you all for that. While I remember him best as the wonderful husband, father, and human being he was — I’d like to celebrate his whole life and everything he gave us.

“On his 60th we can all celebrate his genius as an artist who redefined music, but also the incredible man who touched and changed lives. He’s an icon, and he gave us all so much — his unique voice, his poetry, his creativity… his life was a gift to so many. And as you can hear — there’s more to come!!!”
