Toni Cornell paid tribute to her father, late SOUNDGARDEN frontman Chris Cornell, on last night’s episode of “The Late Late Show With James Corden”. You can watch video of the performance below.
Back in 2018, Toni released a duet of her and her father performing the song, which Chris also notoriously covered, and donated the proceeds to the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Toni began working with the IRC in 2017 alongside her dad and the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation. Last year, Toni was named the youngest ambassador to be appointed by the IRC.
On Father’s Day of 2018, Toni shared a recording of her and her late father covering “Nothing Compares 2 U” in honor of the occasion.
“Daddy, I love you and miss you so much,” Toni wrote. “You were the best father anyone could ask for. Our relationship was so special, and you were always there for me. You gave me courage when I didn’t have any. You believed in me when I didn’t. I miss your love everyday. Recording this song with you was a special and amazing experience I wish I could repeat 100 times over and I know you would too. Happy Father’s Day daddy, nothing compares to you.”
