JAKARTA - Matt Cameron of Soundgarden revealed that the band's dispute with Chris Cornell's asset cellphone is still ongoing.

Earlier this year, Chris's band and wife, Vicky Cornell, said that they had resolved a long-standing legal dispute and were about to release the band's last album.

They issued a joint statement saying they had reached a peaceful resolution outside the court.

He added: "This reconciliation marks a new partnership between the two parties, which will allow Soundgarden fans around the world to listen to the final song the band and Chris are working on."

While appearing as a guest on The Vinyl Guide podcast, Cameron, revealed that the band is still dealing with asset owners Chris and the chances of Soundgarden releasing their last song are very small.

"We are still in the middle of a dispute with the asset owner (Chris)," he said, quoted from NME, Friday.

Everything is suspended at this time. At this point, it looks like it won't happen next year. Hopefully as soon as possible. I will not give up."

According to Louder Sound, the center of legal disputes are some of the unreleased songs Vicky claims that the song was not explicitly written taking Soundgarden into account.

The band denies saying most of the material detained stems from writing sessions and Soundgarden footage since 2015.

Chris Cornell himself died of suicide on May 18, 2017. He is 52 years old.
