Chris Cornell breaks hand

Chris Cornell broke his hand May 11, but the injury will not affect the planned Soundgarden reunion, according to Contactmusic.com.

The website reports on Twitter postings from Vicky Cornell, the singer's wife, that said Chris Cornell broke his hand when he dropped something very heavy.

"Broken hand has not stopped Chris Cornell from playing guitar - no worries!!!" she wrote.

Even though Chris Cornell broke his hand, he will still be able to prepare for Soundgarden's headlining performance at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival in August. Soundgarden played its first concert in 13 years April 16 at the Showbox in Seattle.
