Chris Cornell & Toni Cornell Release "Nothing Compares 2 U"

The world simply hasn't been the same since beloved Chris Cornell passed away May 18th of last year. Lucky for us, on Father's Day a track was uploaded to his personal YouTube channel titled "Nothing Compares 2 U". 

This is a universal song by Prince and we're humbled to share that Chris Cornell's daughter recorded a duet and released it for all the father's to enjoy today. Take a look at what Toni Cornell had to say and listen to the extremely touching rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U" below.

"Daddy, I love you and miss you so much. You were the best father anyone could ask for. Our relationship was so special, and you were always there for me. You gave me courage when I didn’t have any. You believed in me when I didn’t. I miss your love everyday. Recording this song with you was a special and amazing experience I wish I could repeat 100 times over and I know you would too. Happy Father’s Day daddy, nothing compares to you. - Toni"

Prince Announces The Piano & A Microphone Tour

Prince's live concert in this ambitious tour will be an intimate solo performance of Prince, one microphone, and one piano without a full band.

You can see exactly what you get."
