This marks Cornell’s third Grammy award, having received two in 1995 with Soundgarden – one for ‘Best Hard Rock Performance’ with ‘Black Hole Sun’ and another for ‘Best Metal Performance’ with ‘Spoonman.’
Cornell’s daughter, Toni, walked the event’s red carpet wearing a shirt that had a picture of her dad on it. She walked the carpet alongside her brother, Christopher, and their mother/Cornell’s widow Vicky. See a picture below.
