Surviving Audioslave members perform ‘Like a Stone’ in tribute to Chris Cornell
Their Prophets of Rage bandmate DJ Lord filmed the performance
Footage has emerged of Audioslave’s Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk performing ‘Like A Stone’ in memory of Chris Cornell.
Public Enemy and Prophets of Rage turntablist DJ Lord shared the two-minute video to his official Facebook page, which shows the trio playing a highly powerful instrumental version of the 2002 anthem in the studio.
DJ Lord simply captioned the video “R.I.P. #ChrisCornell”. You can watch it here:

Back in January, Chris Cornell performed with his Audioslave bandmates at Prophets of Rage’s Anti-Inaugural Ball protesting at President-elect Donald Trump.
Chris’s first performance with Audioslave in 11 years saw him sing ‘Cochise’, ‘Like a Stone’ and ‘Show Me How To Live’. He also joined Prophets of Rage on stage for set closer ‘Killing in the Name.’
Hours after performing with Soundgarden at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on Wednesday 17th May, Chris Cornell’s body was found in a bathroom in his room at the MGM Grand Detroit hotel. He was just 52.
