Nancy Wilson Unearths Video of Chris Cornell Covering ‘Wild Horses’ to Mark His 60th Birthday

“Found a gem of a Lovemongers 90s rarity when Chris Cornell joined us on stage to sing Wild Horses in honor of Layne Staley,” Wilson wrote in the caption, adding that the performance was dedicated to Alice in Chains singer and fellow Seattleite.

As Ann Wilson while introducing Cornell to the stage, Soundgarden was on the verge of serving as Guns N’ Roses’ opening act on that band’s Use Your Illusion Tour that year; just weeks after the Lovemongers performance, Soundgarden also released their breakthrough album Badmotorfinger.

Two decades later, Cornell would reunite with the Wilson sisters onstage as he inducted Heart into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 2013 ceremony.

Cornell’s widow Vicky also shared a tribute to her late husband Saturday on social media accompanied by a snippet of the singer’s still-unreleased rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.”

“Chris would have turned 60 today. Although everyone that loved him is sad that he’s no longer here, it’s all of you, the fans who made him, whose love has continued to keep his legacy alive. I’m so grateful to you all for that,” Vicky Cornell wrote.
