TONIGHT’S LONDON SHOW POSTPONED  

RESCHEDULED DATE TBD 


Pearl Jam are very sorry to announce that they will be unable to perform tonight’s show at the O2 Arena in London. The band is working on rescheduling the concert date for mid-July.


Singer Eddie Vedder has completely lost his voice. He is on vocal rest for the next few days in an effort to heal and perform the remainder of the tour dates.


It’s the first time ever having to postpone a show for this reason.  Ed and the band are gutted thinking of all the folks who have travelled and made plans.


Sending their biggest apologies out to everyone. And huge gratitude for all the continued support.


Tickets for tonight’s show will be valid and transferable to the rescheduled concert date. Expect more information soon. Please contact your point of purchase for all other public ticket enquiries. Ten Club ticket holders will be contacted directly in the coming days.


Pearl Jam’s European tour is expected to resume Friday, June 22nd in Milan.

    I feel terrible for those that traveled and won't be able to make the makeup show.  But what can you do, there was no choice/decision to be made here except follow the doctors advice.  Hopeful for a quick return to health....and selfishly hopeful able to perform in Rome.

    Would rather he miss 1 as opposed to trying to power through and cancel a whole tour.  Rest up!!

    Sorry for those who traveled - we all feel for you.  Clearly it is not something the band wants to do....
    Go and find something amazing to do in London for the evening, hope you can enjoy your time.
    For the locals?  I am sure they will do everything they can to make it up at some point in the future.

    Be well Eddie, I am sure this is a rough day.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    I traveled down to Argentina earlier this year only to have the show canceled due to weather.  I feel your pain in London...especially those who traveled in and will not be able to catch the make up date.  Follow the good advise others have posted...get out and enjoy yourself!  Life will continue.

    I wish I knew the odds of them making the rest of their shows......I know they will try, but out of his control really.  Hopefully the doctors in europe have a magical cure!

    Hoping everything works out and Ed can get his voice back, and there are no major issues. 
    Hoping for a speedy recovery - I'm sure this is pretty freakin scary for him.

    If there’s one city you can always find something to do, it’s London. There are plenty of places to find bands worth watching - it’s what Ed would do!

    Get well soon Ed!

    Damn! Ed's voice needs to get better. The world needs more good Pearl Jam music. It seems odd, but the only worry I've ever had with this band is if/when the voice gives out. Almost 30 years of what he's been doing is amazing. Rest and recover Ed! 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    aw poor Ed, hope he get's well soon. Gutted for tonight but glad I got to see last night's show. Do you think we should still pick up our tix from the 10c window today or wait til the new date? I had a day off work just so I could get there early!

    I laughed out loud (for real) at this. 
    Here's to hoping that others can find some humor in this as well and roll with the punch and wish well to EV while he recovers.
