Chris Cornell, the Grammy winning rock icon and one of the greatest male voices of our time, brings his solo acoustic 'Songbook' tour to Australian theatres in October after his hugely successful sold out run in the United States.

Chris Cornell has the ability to connect with listeners like few others of our time. He has maintained his own unique identity over more than two decades as a singer, songwriter, and lyricist. He has been heralded as one of the pioneers of the grunge era for writing a string of hits for Soundgarden, including the Grammy award-winning "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman."
In 1991, Chris formed Temple of the Dog, writing classic song "Hunger Strike" featuring a duet with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder.
In 2000, Cornell joined former Rage Against the Machine members (Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk) in Audioslave and wrote a series of the band's hits including "Like a Stone," "Be Yourself" and "Doesn't Remind Me". Cornell continued to shine as a solo artist writing songs such as "Can't Change Me," and "Mission", which was included on the soundtrack to the film Mission Impossible II.
His songs have been recorded by diverse artists from Johnny Cash to Alice Cooper, and his movie soundtrack credits include hit theme song "You Know My Name" for James Bond thriller Casino Royale, one of the most successful instalments of the spy franchise to date.
US critics have raved about his just completed, totally sold out US tour:
"Chris Cornell still possesses the best voice in rock music... one of the most important artists to ever walk the face of the earth." - Rick Florino, Artist Direct
"The two-hour, nearly two-dozen-song performance was a master class in the fine art of solo performance" - Sarah Rodman, Boston Globe
"Sometimes you don't recognize the full power of a voice until you strip everything away from it... how rare his timbre remains."- Jim Farber, New York Daily News
"Charismatic, quick-witted and good-looking with a killer voice" - Jane Stevenson, Toronto Sun
"He can make any noise between whisper and scream sound musical." - Dave McKenna, Washington Post
