In their social media statement, they conveyed their regrets for not being able to attend and emphasized their appreciation for the support received from the Black Sabbath team throughout their career. A photo of Chris Cornell with Black Sabbath members was also included in the post.
"Congratulations to Black Sabbath on the grand and final pealing of their vesper bells! Thank you for an astounding career that provided us and your legion of fans with a lifetime of beauty, horror, love, power, happiness, melancholy and a profoundly sublime, yet viscerally rocking transcendence informed by both doom and hope."
"However, the crown will forever remain yours! We are very grateful to Tony, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, as well as Sharon Osbourne and music director, Tom Morello for the honor and invitation to Soundgarden to perform at the Back to the Beginning festival!"
