Soundgarden Will Be Joined By Original Bassist Hiro Yamamoto, Along With Brandi Carlile, Taylor Momsen, Jerry Cantrell, And Others At Rock Hall Ceremony

At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on November 8th, Soundgarden members Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil, and Ben Shepherd will be joined onstage by Brandi Carlile, Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Nancy Wilson of Heart, and their original bassist Hiro Yamamoto. “We wanted to keep it as Seattle-centric as possible and include some people that were there with us in the beginning,” said Cameron of their special guests. Although late frontman Chris Cornell sadly won’t be present, Cameron says he believes that, “Chris would have really enjoyed this moment of recognition, because he was always moving as an artist. He was always seeking that next phase of his writing career, performing career,” while also proclaiming that Cornell’s “contribution to music has been absolutely massive.” (Consequence of Sound)
