Cornell's wife on Friday announced a statue will be erected August 29 at Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture. The announcement comes on what would have been Cornell's 54th birthday.
Vicky Cornell commissioned sculptor Nick Marras to create a life-size bronze statue of her late husband in his signature boots, dog tag and long locks. She says it is her family's gift to "the tight-knit community that gave him his start."
The Grammy-winning lead vocalist for Soundgarden and Audioslave was found dead in a Detroit hotel room hours after a Soundgarden concert May 18 last year.
Cornell was born and raised in Seattle.
