Soundgarden was recently announced as part of the next class of musicians to be inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025.
The Seattle-based band will join six others named in the 2025 class including Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker and The White Stripes.
Here's what to know and how to watch the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Soundgarden is an American rock band that got its start in Seattle's grunge scene in the mid-'80s.
Lead singer and drummer, Chris Cornell, formed the band with bassist Hiro Yamamoto, guitarist Kim Thayil, and later, Matt Cameron, who took over on drums. Bassist Ben Shepherd would later replace Yamamoto before the band's third album.
Soundgarden was active between 1984-1998. The band broke up in 1998 before getting back together in 2010.
They continued to release music together until 2017, when 52-year-old lead singer Cornell died by suicide shortly after completing a show on Soundgarden's "2017 North American Tour."
Soundgarden's full discography consists of six studio albums, two live albums, six compilation albums, eight extended plays, 24 singles and 23 music videos. They have received two Grammy Awards and eight nominations.

Couple Quoted $500 for Dog's Sedated Nail Trim, Come up With Hilarious Plan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a couple were quoted a hefty $500 by their veterinarian for a sedated pet nail trim, they decided to take matters—and clippers—into their own hands, one paw at a time. The dog's owner, known as @lilkittyrose on TikTok, shared a short video to the platform on May 5, jokingly implying that the pair will be trimming their pets' nails themselves, one nail at a time. An overlaid text on the clip added more context: "Our vet quoted us $500 for a sedated nail trim…1 nail per nap it is," while the caption read: "My poor baby." Viewers on TikTok were able to see a man carefully trimming the dog's claw while they snoozed soundly beneath a blanket on the couch. Since it was posted, the 15-second clip has been viewed over 4.1 million times and has racked up more than 534,000 likes, with plenty of TikTok users chiming in with laughter, sympathy, and similar stories. "CVT [certified veterinary technician] here! If you can do this, DO IT! This is one of the best ways to reduce stress [and] anxiety for nail trims," one viewer said. "One toe at a time, don't force it, don't rush. "Over time you may be able to do more than one toe, before you know it you'll be trimming a whole paw! Definitely a treat after too, keep up the fantastic parenting guys." "$30 hanging harness from Amazon, trust," another added. "I have to feed my Rottweiler a baby carrot per nail so he's too busy snacking to get mad," a third viewer said. "Buy a second pair of clippers and you each do one so you can get two at a time," another added. "$500 is way too expensive, ask at another place," another said. The video's runaway popularity highlights a growing sentiment among American pet owners: veterinary care is becoming prohibitively expensive. The price of urban veterinarian services rose by 7.6 percent between 2023 and 2024, with states like Maine and Georgia seeing the sharpest increase in veterinary costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Findings from Florida-based pet insurance company Spot Pet found that Maine saw a 21 percent rise in veterinary costs between 2023 and 2024, while Georgia followed closely with a 20 percent rise.
