Country singer pays tribute to Chris Cornell, Tom Petty and Malcolm Young at the turn of the year

The musician created a medley to honor those who passed away in 2017

Country singer and guitarist Keith Urban headlined Nashville's Music City Midnight, a year-end event, where he delivered a moving tribute to the artists we lost in 2017.

In freezing temperatures, Urban played Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" as a tribute to vocalist Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in May 2017.

Moving on to a medley of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" and venturing into the riff of AC/DC's "Back in Black" in homage to guitarist Malcolm Young, the musician concluded with Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'".

The presentation is almost nine minutes long, and you can check out the video below:
