Chris Cornell announced the release date of his 13th career album, "Carry On", in stores May 1st on Suretone/Interscope. Steered by Grammy Award-winning British super-producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones, Morrissey, Dave Matthews Band), "Carry On" is a mature and content departure from the acrimonious artist who brought us Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog.
Additionally Cornell is permanently departing super-group Audioslave stating, "Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors."
