American musician Chris Cornell (1964-2017) was best known as the lead vocalist for the rock bands Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Temple of the Dog. Cornell is considered one of the chief architects of the 1990s grunge movement. In 2012, wanting to use music to support causes that help foster change, Cornell and his wife created the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation which works for homeless, poor, abused or neglected children.

This image of Chris Cornell performing on stage at Bumbershoot, an annual international music and arts festival held in Seattle, was taken during Soundgarden's headline performance at the festival.
