Chris Cornell's widow Vicky has commissioned a statue of the late Soundgarden frontman which will be erected in his hometown of Seattle.
The Seattle Times report that Cornell has hired sculptor and artist Wayne Toth to create the memorial to be placed in a location in the city â and she is keen to hear where fans would like the statue to be placed.
Cornell says: âHe has already given me a design and the children and I love it. He is Seattleâs son and we will be bringing him home and honoring him, I hope, with all of you, your love and support.â
Toth was behind the statue of Johnny Ramone that is by his grave at Los Angelesâ Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Last month, Cornell pledged $100,000 to the Chris Cornell Music Therapy Program which was set up by the Childhaven charity. It helps children develop after facing experiences including neglect, abuse and chemical dependency.
