CHRIS CORNELL Postpones European Tour - Apr. 16, 2008 

Former AUDIOSLAVE/SOUNDGARDEN vocalist Chris Cornell has postponed his previously announced European tour due to scheduling conflicts.

In a statement released earlier today, Cornell said, "Due to an extended recording schedule, I will be able to perform in front of my European fans a few months later than expected. With that said, I plan on touring extensively through Europe and the rest of the world through 2008-2009."

Cornell is working on his next solo album with producer Timbaland, and says "it's going fantastic."

Chris stated about the unlikely pairing, "This is different from anything I've ever done. I've come from an indie rock world, where, if you have a producer, it's somebody who's not a musician, not a songwriter. He's just someone who twists knobs and can kinda tell you if they think a song is too long or too short or needs to be more aggressive. Tim's a songwriter, so I was working with him in a collaboration, sort of as if we were in a band."
