CORNELL CELEBRATES THE RETURN OF HIS GUITARS
Rocker CHRIS CORNELL is celebrating the return of his beloved guitar collection following a long court battle with his ex-wife.
The former Audioslave singer divorced Susan Silver - who managed his former band Soundgarden - in 2004.
But the pair remained locked in a bitter dispute over his musical instruments, which was finally resolved through the courts this year (08).
And Cornell is delighted that the precious items have finally been returned to him, four years after his split from Silver.
He writes on his official website, "Speaking of guitars. I was just dusting off the 15 or so guitars that I recently had returned to me after the end of a very long lawsuit where someone had decided that maybe the tools of my trade and guitars I played on my entire catalogue should be in their possession forever.
"It seems to me that some strangely desperate people involved in the music business forget that they are not the ones that write these songs, spill their guts and expose themselves to the public on the most personal level. We invent this s**t and f**king own it and no matter what, nothing will change that."
