The widow of singer Chris Cornell and his former bandmates in Soundgarden said they have resolved her lawsuit against them, clearing the way for the release of the band’s final recordings more than five years after his death.

Vicky Cornell sued Soundgarden in federal court in 2019 over royalties from recordings her husband had made that she said were intended to be a solo project but the band contended were part of their partnership with him.
