SEATTLE — An agreement between the surviving members of Soundgarden and the estate of Chris Cornell has been reached to transfer back the official social media accounts to the band’s surviving members, according to Rolling Stone.
After another lawsuit between the band and the estate, Soundgarden released a statement saying, “For more than a year, Soundgarden’s social media accounts have been hijacked; misleading and confusing our fans.”
The band’s official Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts were operated by the estate of Chris Cornell and prevented the band from posting about the band or their other projects.
A joint statement released Wednesday said, “Soundgarden and Vicky Cornell, the personal representative of the Estate of Christopher Cornell, are pleased to announce that, effective June 15, 2021, they have come to a temporary agreement that will transfer the Soundgarden social media accounts and website to the band’s remaining members, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, and Ben Shepherd and their managers, Red Light Management.”
However, the agreement is temporary, as there are still multiple pending lawsuits and countersuits between the band and estate.
