It sounds almost impossible, now over a dozen years since the death of Layne Staley, but Mad Season will have a reunion, of sorts.
So, if Staley will not be there for obvious reasons, then who will fill in on vocals?
Chris Cornell!
The concert is expected to take place in January of next year, fittingly enough in Seattle, and will feature Mad Season music, which should truly be awesome!
I cannot make it all the way out there, especially for a concert that I surely would not be able to score tickets for anyway.
Yet, I am hopeful that maybe there will be a DVD recording of the show or, perhaps some video and audio download of the historic event.
There is a link to an article about this down below, as well as one about Chris Cornell discussing the "existential meltdown" of the grunge bands of the nineties, as they struggled to maintain their identity as the anti-glam bands, when they often shared the same magazine pages as they. He specifically pointed out Poison, just in case you were wondering. In any case, the link to both articles can be found down below:
