In 2021, Cornell’s estate released a collection of covers selected by the late Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman called No One Sings Like You Anymore: Volume One, which was recorded in 2016 and featured reimaginings of songs by Prince, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Guns ‘N Roses, and more. When that album dropped, Vicky shared that there was more music still in the vault and that the estate planned to release a second volume. Could that “more to come” tease mean that a full version of “Fast Car” is imminent?

Also in 2021, Vicky and the rest of Soundgarden reached a temporary truce over access to the group’s social media accounts. They had been embroiled in a legal battle over unpaid royalties and the rights to some unfinished songs since the singer’s death. Last year, they jointly announced a reconciliation and plans to release the bands final recordings.

“Fast Car” got a second life on the charts with Luke Combs’ cover last year, which got Chapman back onstage for an emotional duet at the 2024 Grammys.
