Singer who fronted surviving Soundgarden members responds to question about the band’s future

Soundgarden at a charity show, has responded to a question about the future of the band.Surviving members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd reunited last month for a performance at the Showbox in Seattle.

Aiming to help raise money for the Seattle Children’s Hospital as part of the SMooCH benefit show, they were billed as Nudedragons – an anagram of Soundgarden and the same name they used in 2010 when they reunited to play their first show since 1997.Breaking out tracks including ‘Hunted Down’, ‘Outshined’, ‘Flower’ and ‘Beyond The Wheel’ with Shania Shepherd providing vocals, it marked the third ever time that the surviving members had performed together since frontman Chris Cornell’s passing.As expected, the gig led to fans debating whether or not the band could be planning a comeback, and how they’d feel about potentially seeing the members reform with a new vocalist replacing Cornell.Music outlet Hot Metal got involved in the discussion too, asking followers on Facebook if they’d like Shepherd to become a permanent fixture in the line-up..
