Cornell brings rock experience to headline show

Chris Cornell has traveled almost every road in rock.

This weekend, the former singer for grunge band Soundgarden and supergroup Audioslave will walk the road to Weedsport solo to headline the 12th annual KRock-athon.

KRock program director Scott Petibone feels Cornell is one of the five elite figures in modern rock, along with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.
