Chris Cornell to Sing Bond Theme

July 27th, 2006

NME reports

Audioslave singer Chris Cornell has been signed up to sing the theme tune to the new James Bond film.

The former Soundgarden frontman has co-written the track ‘You Know My Name’ with regular Bond composer David Arnold for the latest spy flick ‘Casino Royale’, which stars Daniel Craig, reports Reuters.

Cornell joins a long list of artists who have previously recorded songs for the Bond films over the years including Paul McCartney and Wings, Duran Duran and Madonna.

‘Casino Royale’ opens at cinemas on November 17.

I’m a big fan of Chris’ work in Soundgarden, and even the first Audioslave album wasn’t half bad, but for some reason I have a bad feeling about this. It will be hard to out-suck Madonna’s theme, though.
