Chris Cornell, Elton John, Dave Grohl, Iggy Pop and former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic are among the high-profile musicians who donated personal items used to create a unique line of timepieces, the Rock LTD Collection, The Hollywood Reporter notes. Cornell – who died by suicide at age 52 in May, contributed a guitar strap to the new watch line, which benefits the Recording Academy's MusiCares MAP Fund, dedicated to addiction recovery treatment.




"Addiction is a disease, and we lose far too many loved ones to the illness each day," the Soundgarden frontman's widow, Vicky Cornell, said in a statement. "MusiCares is a crucial organization and the MusiCares MAP Fund 100 percent supports the music community in its fight to protect those battling this affliction."
