Mike McCready In the Process of Writing a Rock Opera As Tribute to Chris Cornell

Since I committed a few blog entries to Pearl Jam yesterday, this seemed like a good time to mention this particular subject, as well.

Thought that this was pretty fascinating.

Mike McCready, the guitarist for Pearl Jam (one of two) is writing a rock opera that will pay tribute to the memory of the late, great Chris Cornell.

Of course, McCready and the other members of Pearl Jam worked with Cornell to produce the Temple of the Dog album, which is best known for the biggest and most recognizable hit track, "Hunger Strike." My son and I saw them on the 2016 tour, which marked the 25th anniversary of this historical music collaboration, which helped to add fuel to the fire of the Seattle music scene that was beginning to really dominate during that time.

Well now, McCready is creating a rock opera to honor the memory of Cornell.

Also, he gives a hint that the next Pearl Jam album is already almost done, and should see release in the near future.

Below are links to articles which offer a bit more information.

Enjoy!
