- BY SYLVIA POWNALL

Chris Cornell ACTORS Brad Pitt and Christian Bale were among mourners at the funeral service of Chris Cornell.

Family and friends gathered at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles to pay respects to the grunge rocker.

The Soundgarde­n and Audioslave singer’s ashes were later interred in the Garden of Legends alongside Johnny Ramone.

The Bond theme singer, 52, was cremated after a low-key event on Tuesday.

Eulogies at Friday’s service were delivered by actor Josh Brolin and the singer’s former bandmates Kim Thayil, Tom Morello and Matt Cameron.

Cornell died by suicide at a hotel room on May 17 after performing a show in Detroit.
