Ed was breathing hard at VA Beach

I'm getting worried about him. I wish he would quit smoking. I was so close to the stage, I could see him breathing hard. I never pictured he would do that since he's athletic. It was nice weather that night. He even mentioned it. I'm sure he was hot, but we had "natural a/c" or something like that, he said.

Please don't smoke Ed. I've seen too many older people I know get ephysema or die of cancer! I want to still listen to you when you are sixty. I'm a little bit older than you are. Don't make me switch to Perry Como, ok?

    I beg your pardon?

    I've got nowhere near as close to them as some of you have but they always look fit and well when I see them on... Youtube. :(
    Especially Jeff. He looks gooooood for a 45 year old!

    I know it's been said before and I understand what you're saying 'iluvcats' but I'm sure eddie will quit when he's good and ready. :)

    Eddie needs to give more consideration to quitting smoking - not so much for us... But for his wife & daughter.

    Shaun Morgan (seether), said in an interview that when he tried to quit smoking he could no longer sing the grungy type music becuase the strain on his throat and when he went to a doctor they said the phlem he produces becuase of teh smoke coats his throat.

    soo maybe he cant stop

    If that was a Stephen Colbert-style joke, you did a damn good job.

    Remember, he started smoking well after PJ had formed so that theory doesn't really hold up.

    I'm in incredible shape, I run 3-4 miles per day, eat really healthy and I'm pretty sure I'd be out of breath singing 30+ songs, running and dancing around like he does.

    Of course it's better to quit, but he can do whatever he wants IMO.

    I just played a 5 song set, and I was out of breath. When you're rockin, its hard!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Ed should do whatever the hell ED wants to do
    too many telling him what to do when all he has done is share his life, his gift with us.
    smoke, do whatever mate. live your life the way you want to

    you all are right. he can do whatever he wants. he has his smokes and I have my saturated fats (sweets). If my husband asked me to quit eating icecream and junk food, not sure I could do it.

    Sorry Ed, will you forgive me?

    I didn't know Ed started more smoking when PJ formed. Hmmm... Really I don't understand people who do such of these things when they are already mature. I'm not judging anybody, it's only my consideration. Nobody is perfect, especially me...
    Everybody does sometimes "not -so -wise" things. Anyway I think this thread is not for giving advices, just a sign we worry about somebody, and this is the way all people here should treat this theme

    As a 35 year old, who sings and dances the entire show, I am also soaked in sweat and breathing heavy, and I am healthy. 3 hours of aerobics and not supposed to be out of breath? I would be pissed off if I left a show where Ed wasn't out of breath, I would think he was holding something back.

    I get why people want other people to stop smoking, but as a past smoker myself who gave it up ove 5 years ago, your begging him to stop is useless.

    Everyone is going to die, and not to be completely morbid but I'm going there~! As a huge John Lennon fan and spending a few days in NYC for the PJ shows and having time to visit the Imagine memorial in Central Park, I got a glimpse in how totally freaky it is to be Eddie Vedder, he is quickly becoming a "Lennon" or a "Dylan", and it is scary f'n shit- so if he wants to smoke to avoid whatever may come his way on a daily basis, I just want him to stay safe and avoid the crazies, I could give a shit about the cigerettes!

    I believe the air we breathe is just as bad or worse than cigarettes.They don't even hurt some people.I know a few people in their 90's that smoke.I have also saw the bad side and people that have had heart attacks,strokes,and cancer.I have also known people that were hit by cars or just fell and broke their neck.So when its your time its your time is my theory.Live life and have as much fun as you can while your alive.

    Why do I get the feeling you're a smoker? Sounds like rationalization to me. If you are trying to tell me that cigarettes aren't bad for you, then you are in some serious denial or work for Phillip Morris.

    No offense, but this is just ignorant.

    I don't care how polluted the air is in your town, nothing is worse than inhaling smoke directly into your lung.

    Do you work for Phillip Morris or something?

    I'm with folks that say if Ed wants to smoke, he should smoke. But let's not make it seem like he's actually doing something healthy, for God's sake. "Hey, for every second I'm inhaling this tobacco smoke directly into my lungs, I'm not inhaling that cancer-inducing fresh air!"

    Of course he can do whatever he wants. Of course you can too. You can eat your saturated fats... And you may get overweight because of it, and your husband won't be as physically attracted to you, because fat people aren't physically attractive & that's just the way it is. Ed can smoke too, but it means he'll die younger & therefore won't spend as much time with his wife & daughter, that's all. Now if you want to do that & if Ed wants to do that - go for it.

    He won't die of lung cancer or emphasyma(sp?) because he smokes American Spirit. :rolleyes: Therefore, he will live forever. :p

    It pointless to beg a smoker to quit... my boyfriend is a smoker and while he is sleeping it sounds like he is gasping for air, it is really scary! I have begged him to quit, so has the rest of his family, numerous times and nothing works. For eddie to quit he needs to find his own reason, no person is going to do it for him...he needs to do it for himself.

    So, I agree with what MattCameronKicksButt said that Eddie will quit when he is good and ready... Addiction, no matter what kind it is, a selfish thing. You need to except it, enjoy what he has to share, and hope that he one day comes around. :)

    Could there be the slight possibility that Eddie might have taken the stage and not felt 100%. These guys do get sick like the rest of us but are professional and do not have the option of calling off.

    As far as his personal life / habits go they are just that his and personal.

    I enjoyed every moment of the Columbia and Virginia Beach Shows.....
    Each of the guys did an incredible job both nights.

    And as far as the post goes it is just one girls opinion
