How can it be overuse? He just had a year and a half off from serious voice strain.
I'm thinking they meant overused because his voice couldn't handle a couple shows? His voice has been getting more and more rough over time, and there is some fear that it will just cop out because of irreversibly damaged vocal chords. I hope that isn't the case obviously. I hope the people saying he looked sick are right. But I admit I have worried about his voice before today.

More rough in 2008 than later years imo though. I don't think one can (atleast not me) draw any conclusions about his voice.
Don't even wanna think about his voice getting "shot".

To be honest, I’m glad tonight got cancelled. I had a monumental hangover after last night’s most awesome show and was kinda dreading standing in a massive line to get in to that cavern again. At least this way I get to come back in a few weeks and watch it clean. See you in Barcelona!

Yes, that was my worry. Years and years of damage. I wonder if he’s ever seen a vocal coach for proper technique (doubtful) to avoid permanent damage.

I noticed at AMS 1 already that he had to blow his nose alot and had lots of phlegm in his throat that he had to clear often, thought at that stage he might have flu and still pushed through. He however did so well during the 2 AMS shows that I didn't worry about it.
Amsterdam 1 & 2 2018 | Eddie Vedder Johannesburg 2018
He seemed ill in AMS1 I think, so hopefully it'll pass quickly. They put on an incredible show in London 1 despite him struggling, Jeff and Matt were backing him up a fair bit.
I hope he recovers quickly. I didn’t pick up anything in Amsterdam but it was really noticeable at PinkPop. He could finish alive. The fact that he saw 2 vocal drs tells me he is not sick. Good luck Eddie hope it gets better. The pressure to perform must be insane.
I just want to say that to be upset and disappointed is a completely normal, human reaction among the fans who travelled to London. I also think that this might be very hard for Eddie himself as he always tries to do his best and give 100 %. If there will be a new show in London, I’m sure this will be a great one. I travelled here from Sweden and I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it next time. I hope Eddie will revover quickly. Most of us get sick sometimes and it sucks even more for singers. This is a sad situation for both band and London travellers, but I am sure it will be alright in the end. It got me thinking about when Eddie had food poisoning and sang until he passed out and had to go to the hospital. This is how dedicated he is. Much love to everyone affected by this unfortunate situation.

Thanks so much. I travelled all the way from South Africa only for the London shows. I will not be able to come back and don’t have a visa to travel anywhere else in Europe now. I am devastated but understand there is nothing the band could have done.
I cant help but think this is being over dramatised.
From being up close and personal at the show, it looked like a rough virus has set in. He was under the weather, and seemed to have that horrible onset of a nasty cold/flu. We've all been there where our bodies are sore, the throat is killing, and our head feels heavy. He actually performed night 1 amazingly, and in all honesty I dont think i would have noticed anything from his singing - it was more noticeable watching him away from the mic or when talking.
But talk of long term vocal chord damage and his voice being shot - seems extremely over the top at this stage

I was sad for you Mags, it is the people like yourself who got hit the hardest in this. The cost to come from SA isnt insignificant, but this is life mate. The band wouldnt have made this call lightly and I hope we will get that chat next time

I’m very sorry to hear that! I feel the same. Very sad but I understand the situation. At least we all have this great music and maybe there are pleasant surprises in the future, who knows. Have a good journey back home!

This ^^! I don't think they would have mentioned resuming in Italy if they weren't pretty confident about doing so. I know things could change, but to read some posts in some of these threads its like the end of his singing career/voice! On the majority of the songs on Monday he sounded amazing - parting ways, you are, footsteps, off he goes all sublime.

Yeah, I'm actually going through a cold now, not singing at gigs, and my voice is fairly shot.
If blocks of shows get postponed, then we can/should be concerned for Mr Vedder. Until then, its just a man who got sick at the wrong time. He does often seem to fight a cold for a few shows whenever they tour. He needs to up his vitamin C

Might be worth finding out if anyone who got to drink out of the wine bottle he was sharing also got sick.

I agree it sounds like he's sick, but I think it's been pretty obvious that his vocals chords are suffering from long term damage for several years now either way - that's why his voice cracks during every single show now (and even on their latest studio release). I know the shows are still amazing, don't get me wrong, but the problem is still real IMO. So even if he is sick at the moment (hope he feels better!!), I have and will continue to worry about the long term health of his voice either way. I have trouble believing that it won't just keep sliding downhill the older he gets.... I do "worry" about it, but I also kind of accept it as a sad fact of life, lol.
