January 18, 2026
In Seattle, Heart delivered a standout rendition of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun at Climate Pledge Arena, with Ann Wilson performing despite health issues and using a chair for support, yet delivering a powerful impression.
Soundgarden’s legacy was celebrated with their 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, marking a milestone for the band even after frontman Chris Cornell’s passing in 2017 and the subsequent hiatus.
The collaboration took place in Seattle, the hometown of Heart and Soundgarden, highlighting deep regional bonds between the two iconic bands.
The November 2025 induction ceremony featured performances by Brandi Carlile, Nancy Wilson of Heart, Taylor Momsen, and an induction by Jim Carrey, adding prestige to the ceremony.
