Chris Cornell's voice took him far in life. He became a rock god as the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave. But his time on Earth ultimately ended tragically prematurely. Here's a look at what the final 12 months of his life were like.

Cornell occasionally wrote music for films, and one of his contributions was the song "The Promise" for the 2017 movie of the same name, which stars Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale. The plot of the film covers the Armenian Genocide, which happened at the same time as World War I. Beginning in 1915, the Ottoman government of Turkey ordered the deaths of as many as 1.5 million Armenians, as well as the expulsion of thousands more.

The Promise director Terry George commissioned Cornell to compose and perform a song for the film's soundtrack. Cornell then researched the subject by reading extensively and watching documentaries, which ended up haunting him. He aimed for his song to convey a message of hope. As he told Billboard,

"The hope was built into the story. To me, the challenge was being able to distill it in a couple of verses and a chorus."

Cornell donated any money he received from "The Promise" to the International Rescue Committee, an organization that helps political refugees and people trying to escape countries in conflict. The song also ultimately earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song.
