During a Megadeth show in Tokyo today, vocalist Dave Mustaine gave a speech in tribute to Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell, who passed away yesterday at age 52 , and played a Soundgarden cover dedicated to the musician. The text of the speech and the video of the cover of "Outshined" can be seen below:
“Chris Cornell died today. So sad. Chris Cornell from Soundgarden. He died. Very sad. When I found out I was so, so sad. Chris Cornell, a friend of mine, a friend of all of us from Soundgarden, died today and we lost one of the most beautiful voices in Rock and in History. I don't even know what to say except to dedicate this next song to him, with you our friends in Tokyo, because we are here with you, we love you and we want to celebrate Chris's life today.”.
Now, I don't sing like Chris. I could never sing like Chris, but we're going to sing a song now. If you know the lyrics, sing along with me. If not, just make some noise. I love you, Chris. See you someday, up there in heaven
