Chris Cornell's The Promise Nominated For A Grammy Award

(hennemusic) The late Chris Cornell has received a Grammy nomination for "The Promise", the title track to the 2016 film of the same name about love triangle set against the 1914 Armenian genocide.

The Soungarden singer's solo tune is a finalist in the "Best Rock Performance" category, which will see it compete alongside songs by Foo Fighters, Leonard Cohen, Kaleo and Nothing More.

The honor is Cornell's fifteenth Grammy nomination; he and Soundgarden previously won twice in 1995 for a pair of tracks from the Seattle band's "Superunknown" album - "Spoonman" was named "Best Metal Performance" while "Black Hole Sun" picked up hardware for "Best Hard Rock Performance."

The 60th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS from Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday, January 28. Cornell took his own life in a Detroit hotel room in the early hours of May 18 following a Soundgarden show in the city; he was 52 years old. Read more and watch the video for the song here.
