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".

 

Daddy, I love you and miss you so much. 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. Toni *** Full Song at youtube.com/chriscornell

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)
