Chris Cornell's Daughter, Lily, Covered Alice In Chains' "Black Gives Way To Blue" and She Has The Voice Of An Angel
The MoPop Awards took place last week, in honor of Alice In Chains, and I wish they had received more attention leading up to them because the lineup was incredible.
The Museum of Pop Culture's one-night-only annual benefit event streamed for FREE on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 with an unforgettable performance from Seattle's own Alice In Chains, plus an acclaimed lineup of tribute artists who put their own spin on some of the band's most iconic songs.
The Founders Award event serves as the nonprofit museum’s principal annual fundraiser for youth development programs, access initiatives, community engagement, and world-class exhibitions.
This year’s celebration featured performances by award recipients Alice In Chains, as well as tribute performances from Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction), Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), Dallas Green (City and Colour), Fishbone, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), KORN, Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Mad Season), Ann Wilson, Duff McKagan (Guns n’ Roses), Mastodon, Metallica, Dave Navarro, Krist Novoselic (Nirvana, Giants in the Trees), Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Nancy Wilson, and the debut musical performance of Lily Cornell Silver (daughter of Chris Cornell and Susan Silver), among many others. The event also featured appearances from members of Pearl Jam, Sammy Hagar, Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave), Les Claypool, Robert Downey Jr., and many more

Chris Cornell's daughter is going to be a star. That voice? Man oh man.
Not to put more pressure on the girl but she's destined for greatness, no?
The daughter of one of the greatest rock musicians ever who was gifted with a voice vaguely similar to her father's is definitely on the fast track to success but this isn't some mail-in job. Lily plays the piano as well, and to say she group up in music would be the understatement of the century.
Look at these pics of her as a kid hanging out with the guys.
She's also incredibly grateful and grounded-
“So very honored and excited to be a part of this year’s Founders Awards honoring Alice in Chains and benefitting the Museum of Pop Culture,” Cornell Silver said in a statement. “These guys are, and always have been, my family, and I feel so lucky to be honoring them alongside so many amazing artists. I’m singing a song that is super meaningful to me.”
Earlier this year, Lily launched “Mind Wide Open,” a weekly Instagram show addressing mental health — one of her first guests was none other than Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder.
Pretty amazing 20-year-old girl and definitely somebody to keep an eye on.
p.s.- another group of second-generation music royalty to keep an eye on is the band "Suspect 208" which are the kids of Scott Weiland (son Noah), Slash (son London Hudson on drums), the bassist of Metallica Robert Trujillo (son Tye Trujillo) and guitarist Mr. Tsangaris (son Niko).
