n celebration of Father’s Day, the daughter of the late Chris Cornell took to Instagram to post a duet she recorded with her father.

“You gave me courage when I didn’t have any. You believed in me when I didn’t,” wrote 13-year-old Toni Cornell alongside the cover of Prince’s "Nothing Compares 2 U".

“I miss your love every day," she added.

Cornell, who was best known as lead vocalist for rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died in May 2017 while on tour. His death was ruled suicide.

Last August, Toni Cornell performed "Hallelujah" with One Republic as a tribute to both her father and late singer Chester Bennington, who also died by suicide in 2017.

Cornell’s widow, Vicky, held a vigil last month commemorating the first anniversary of his death. “It is with great emotion I reach out to all of you as the one-year anniversary of my husband’s passing approaches. Chris was loved, so much, by so many,” she said in a statement.

She continued: “As we know, there are millions of fans and not everyone can physically be there. We would be honored if you share posts and videos of how Chris' music has touched you. We can feel your love no matter how far. Light a candle, say a prayer, speak his name.” (sul/wng)
