Alice In Chains marked the first anniversary of Chris Cornell’s death with a special tribute during their performance at Rock on the Range. The band paid homage to the late singer with cover versions of Soundgarden’s “Hunted Down” and “Boot Camp.” Guitarist Jerry Cantrell told Rolling Stone that Cornell “always had it, the same thing as when I saw Layne [Staley] for the first time – the commitment to take that ride. There was something that I recognized and aspired to – to have your own voice and sound. Nobody else sounds like that guy. Nobody will. There is a space now and forever empty because of that. It’s never going to make sense. It’s never going to feel right. And it’s always going to hurt.” Cornell died on May 18, 2017 at the age of 52. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights Reserved
