Video Round-Up: Best Tributes to Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell would’ve celebrated his 53^rd birthday today (July 20), and frankly, it still feels weird to refer to the singer in the past tense.

For a singer that was so present, it’s still difficult to come to grips with the fact that a vocal force that powerful is gone.

Considering his talent, influence and the sudden nature of his passing, it’s no surprise that so many paid tribute to the gifted singer/songwriter.  In honor of his birthday, here is a selection of some of our favorite tributes.

Ann Wilson – “Black Hole Sun”

The Pretty Reckless – “Like A Stone”

Living Colour – “Blow Up The Outside World”

Stone Sour – “Outshined”

Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Seasons”
