Her voice is strong and clear, even though it\u2019s her first real time in front of an audience.<\/p>\n<p>Chris admitted in\u00a0an interview around that time that, though he was nervous with phone cameras in their faces and the blinding stage lights, his daughter had no stage fright at all. Her mom had begged her not to do it, to maybe perform on smaller stages first. But they\u2019d been singing together at home, and though Toni was barely a preteen, she already knew that music was and would be her whole life. She used to steal her dad\u2019s iPod just to listen to his cover of \u201cRedemption Song,\u201d which she also performed at a first-grade talent show. Looking back at the Beacon show now, she remembers that she actually was scared, but the fun of it, the love of the music, overtook the fear.<\/p>\n<p>She knew even then how special it was for her to be up there with her dad singing one of their favorite songs. Less than two years later, Chris, one of the iconic artists of \u201890s grunge music, known for leading rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died at age 52.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ometimes, Toni Cornell\u00a0listens to a recording of when she
