here's the first suit.

AUDIOSLAVE frontman Chris Cornell is suing his ex-wife, Susan Silver, alleging she conspired to divert money that belonged to Cornell to other SOUNDGARDEN band members. The lawsuit also claims that Silver held his library of music, lyrics and two Grammys hostage.

The suit charges that Silver, who managed Cornell's previous band, is trying to cash in on SOUNDGARDEN, in part out of "personal animus" for [Cornell].

The couple married in 1990. They separated 12 years later, then divorced.

Cornell alleges Silver has a "desire to harm [him], which has apparently emanated at least in part from the dissolution of their personal relationship, and her incentive to further her career by maximizing the interests of other SOUNDGARDEN members." Cornell says Silver's actions were willful, intentional, malicious and despicable.

In the lawsuit, Cornell says his damages exceed $1 million. He is also seeking punitive damages.

Chris has a one-year-old daughter named Toni from his current wife, Vicky. The couple is expecting their second child.

Here's the second suit.

is reporting that the lawsuit between former SOUNDGARDEN/current AUDIOSLAVE singer Chris Cornell and ex-wife and ex-manager Susan Silver has taken a surprising turn as Cornell filed new legal papers that could financially devastate Silver.

In a petition to California's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, Cornell alleges that his ex-wife was not licensed to manage his band, therefore she should be ordered to return all the money she ever received. Sources tell TMZ.com that Silver earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as band manager.

The couple is already embroiled in a civil lawsuit in which Cornell claims that Silver diverted funds due to him to other band members. He also claimed that she was holding certain personal items of his hostage, including two Grammys, demo tracks and original lyrics.

Silver has described that lawsuit to TMZ.com as "baseless and absurd." Silver could not be reached for comment on the new filing with Labor Standards.

The couple married in 1990 and stayed together for 12 years before parting ways in 2002. SOUNDGARDEN released three studio albums over the course of the marriage: 1991's "Badmotorfinger", 1994's "Superunknown" and 1996's "Down on the Upside".
