Brandi Carlile just released a new album, In These Silent Days, but she’s already thinking about her next big career goal: becoming Soundgarden’s singer. While on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, the alt-country singer volunteered to take over vocals for Chris Cornell, who died in 2017. She said she “would make the time” to tour as Soundgarden’s singer and added that she “loved [Cornell] so much. [She] was so devastated when he left us.”
