When Tool played Eulogy in 2017 was it related to the death of Chris Cornell?

So I've always been curious about Tool's only performance of "Eulogy" (with Maynard) since 2001. The date was May 25th 2017 at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This was about a week after Chris Cornell died, and I'd heard that the reason Tool played "Eulogy" was because it was supposedly Chris Cornell's favorite song of theirs. Is there any evidence of this or is this just pure speculation?
