Chris Cornell has quit Audioslave saying there were "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences" in the band.
The former Soundgarden man revealed the news in a statement to Billboard and says he now plans to concentrate on his solo career.
Cornell said: "This is something I don't want to do anymore. There were problems from the very beginning and we dealt with them in a great way.
“We made three great records. We were a band that got along great, but we've also had our differences. My focus is definitely on doing my own music now.”
He releases his second album ‘Carry On’ on May 1 in the US.
The news comes following the announcement that the remaining members of Audioslave – Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford – will reunite with Zach de la Rocha for a reunion of Rage Against The Machine for this year’s Coachella.
