Members of SOUNDGARDEN will be joined by METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS and others for a special tribute to their late former frontman Chris Cornell.

'I Am the Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell' is set for Jan. 16, 2019, at the Forum in Los Angeles.


Tickets go on sale this Friday at Ticketmaster. Proceeds benefit the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation.

Ryan Adams and Cornell's bandmates from TEMPLE OF THE DOG and AUDIOSLAVE will also appear.

"We are honored to have all these amazing artists and friends come together to pay tribute to and show their love and appreciation for Chris, his music and the mark he’s left on the world," Cornell's widow Vicky said in a news release. "We look forward to sharing this night with all the fans."
 
Cornell, 52, died in May 2017 of an apparent suicide.

Jimmy Kimmel will host the concert, which is "presented by Cornell's family and closest friends," according to the news release.
