DAUGHTRY Teams Up With SEVENDUST’s LAJON WITHERSPOON For Cover Of TEMPLE OF THE DOG’s ‘Hunger Strike’

DAUGHTRY is celebrating the memory of Chris Cornell by teaming up with SEVENDUST‘s Lajon Witherspoon for a reimagining of the hit TEMPLE OF THE DOG song “Hunger Strike”.

DAUGHTRY frontman Chis Daughtry says: “Chris Cornell is one of the defining voices that grabbed me by the heartstrings and made me want to be a rock singer. ‘Hunger Strike’ is one of, if not the most iconic rock duets of our generation. It’s the whole ’90s wrapped up in one song. Doing this song with Lajon, one of my favorite humans I’ve had the pleasure of calling friend and brother, means the world to me.”

Lajon shares: “What an honor to be a part of this incredible song and to work with my brother Chris Daughtry and the boys. This to me was a musical movement in our community and still to this day in the world.”

“Hunger Strike” comes after the recent release of new single “Heavy Is The Crown”, the first single from DAUGHTRY in 2021. With a new video expected to unveil itself for the single soon, the band recently provided its broadcast debut with a performance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.

DAUGHTRY‘s fifth full-length album, “Cage To Rattle”, was released in 2018 via 19 Recordings/RCA. The disc was produced by Jacquire King (KINGS OF LEON, Tom Waits, Norah Jones).
