    In July 2005, Audioslave performed at Live 8 in Berlin, a significant global event aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat poverty. This performance occurred just after Soundgarden's frontman, Chris Cornell, had experienced a notable transition in his career, as he had recently departed from Soundgarden in 1997. The band had disbanded shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Down on the Upside" in 1996. Following this period, Cornell formed Audioslave with members of Rage Against the Machine, and their self-titled debut album was released in 2002, showcasing a distinct blend of hard rock and more melodic elements. The performance at Live 8 marked Audioslave's growing prominence on the world stage, contributing to Cornell's legacy as a versatile artist deeply involved in both social causes and musical innovation.
