Chris Cornell previews solo album during spring tour

Singer Chris Cornell, who recently cut ties with Audioslave, will give fans a taste of his forthcoming sophomore solo album during a brief outing that launches early next month.

Cornell has lined up stops in 11 major cities, beginning April 6 in Las Vegas, and wrapping up May 2 in Los Angeles. Details are included below.

In addition to featuring cuts from his upcoming release "Carry On," Cornell's setlist during the tour will include material culled from his days with Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave.

Last month, Cornell announced that he had split with Audioslave due to "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences," and simultaneously announced a May 1 release date for "Carry On"; the set has since been pushed back to June 5.

"Carry On," Cornell's first solo collection since 1999's "Euphoria Morning," was produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones). Among the album's 14 tracks is the cut "You Know My Name," a song that first turned up in last year's James Bond flick, "Casino Royale," and the lead-off single "No Such Thing," which is due to hit radio stations March 26.

Alongside the set's 13 original tracks will be Cornell's "slow-grind cover of Michael Jackson 'Billie Jean' that gives the familiar song a completely new feeling," according to a press release.

That looks like a pretty awesome setlist!

Looking forward to his new album. I really liked the Bond theme he did, and loved his work with Soundgarden as well as his song "Seasons" from the Singles soundtrack. His debut was also pretty good. Too bad Audioslave was such a letdown...

[Malcolm]

Just thought I'd let everyone know Chris is on muchmoremusic right now performing and answering questions

[Thorned Rose]

I might have to see him. Anyone else seen him?

Fill me in.

Launch Radio Networks reports: Singer Chris Cornell recently told MTV.com that his days of being in a band were over and he was prepared to spend the rest of his career as a solo artist following his departure from Audioslave earlier this spring. Although AUDIOSLAVE guitarist Tom Morello recently said that he never officially heard from Cornell that he was leaving the group, the singer told Launch that he did make his intentions clear. "Tom and I did have communications about the fact that I was gonna go make a record, and that I was tired of what ended up seeming like political negotiations toward how we were gonna do AUDIOSLAVE business and getting nowhere with it," he said. "We had back and forths about that, and we also as a band sat in a room with other people trying to work this out on numerous occasions, and it wasn't really happening."

Cornell added that the process of "doing AUDIOSLAVE business" led him to go solo. "I still will always say that everybody did their best, I think, to try to come to some sort of an agreement, but it literally did sort of turn into these, like, negotiations, you know, almost like you're negotiating a contract with a record company, something like that," he said. "I can make my own records and I don't have to do that with myself."

KILLER SET LIST!!!!

[Negleyjj]

Euphoria Morning is probably my favorite non-GNR CD. The first time I listened to it I didn't even like it that much (if at all), but I figured "Hey I bought it, might as well listen" and over a few days it just kept rising through my favorites list. I'm not loving the new single, it's okay but not great, but I can't wait for the new CD.

And although that is a great setlist, I, the small minority, would be very disappointed by the lack of Euphoria Morning songs.... though hearing Seasons and the Temple of the Dog stuff would be awesome (as well as the new stuff, Soundgarden, AND Audioslave).

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

He played those songs by himself, just him and an acoustic. 

[babydolls]

thanks for posting Garry - am seeing him with Aerosmith at end of June in London. Looking forward to it.

[Negleyjj]

Oh I see, my bad.

If he had come within 3-4 hours of me I'd have been all over it... 6 Hours is quite a bit of a drive for me - especially since it was during exams. 

Hopefully, one day...

[GeraldFord]

How do people like his new CD? I havn'y heard it yet.

It's decent. Nowhere near as strong as Euphoria Morning IMO, but then again I've had a lot of time to get used to it. It's got some strong songs off it, and a lot more that I think are the kind that grow on you.

[Jizzo]

i saw him play last night with qotsa. amazing show

[deadflowerII]

ROLLING STONE reviewed the new album this month.......they ripped him and the album to shreads....fuckers.......
