Temple of the Dog

Temple Of The Dog was a one-album project conceived in 1990. The purpose of Temple Of The Dog was to pay tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who died of a heroin overdose in 1990. Following his death, Mother Love Bone broke up, but Wood's bandmates Jeff Ament (bass) and Stone Gossard (guitar) decided to continue working together. Before Ament and Gossard formed a new band, they assembled Temple Of The Dog, recruiting Chris Cornell (vocals) and Matt Cameron (drums) from Soundgarden to form the core of the group. Temple Of The Dog also featured contributions from then-unknown vocalist Eddie Vedder and guitarist Mike Mccready.
