The band has further announced that Vedder's replacement is Gary Cherone, formerly of the late 80s band, Extreme, and shortly with Van Halen between Hagar mid 90s and Hargar late 90s.

In separate news the band has also replaced founding member, song writer and rhythm guitarist, Stone Gossard, with Buckethead.
