The surviving members of Soundgarden have released a statement with regards to the lawsuit that Chris Cornell’s widow, Vicky Cornell, filed last week. The statement from Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd reads: “The buyout offer that was demanded by the Estate has been grossly mischaracterized and we are confident that clarity will come out in court. All offers to buy out our interests have been unsolicited and rejected outright. For more than a year, Soundgarden’s social media accounts have been hijacked; misleading and confusing our fans.
