    What was it Bono said about Eddie this week...."Where's Eddie Vedder? Spirit of Seattle, spirit of Chicago, spirit of America. Where's Eddie?"

    I too feel like Bono and Brewdog123. He has that gift of making it make enough sense to help you move on.

    I don't want it to be true... So terrible
    I'm still hoping this is some sort of bad dream. I'm not usually a person who gets so emotional about someone passing that I never personally knew but this just hurts. My thoughts are with his wife and kids right now.

    I don't think its that hard to see. It must be chaos for the band right now. And them not knowing all the details. And it being personal. Him being close to them, and really close to Matt etc. 

    I don't think they just want to put something up to put something up. Or prioritising it.
    And they're probably trying to gather their thoughts, come to grips with this, get some kind of understanding... like we all are, like his family and friends are... when the time is right, we'll probably see a very moving, well-written, well-thought out, emotional tribute. I think it takes time to do all that. They could just put out something like "R.I.P.", similar to their peers, which is all good, but they probably want to do a little more than that.

    Edit: just my $0.02, of course
    I'm sure all of PJ are completely devastated. I feel heartbroken for all of them and everyone else who loved Chris. :heartbreak:

    First off, I am utterly devastated. I have seen SG twice, including a wonderful show in a smaller venue of my hometown of Worcester, MA a few years back. They sounded great. Also made the trek to NYC for TOTD in Nov. Also an emotional experience for me.

    This has bugged me since this morning, but even more so now knowing the pain he must have been going through. I've been doing a lot of reflection lately, and as an INFP, basically can present a calm exterior even though there's a ton going in my head. As someone who has battled depression for years on end now, it saddens me even more knowing that he was going through a lot of the same things I am, and was a "shock" to those who knew him. He probably felt like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Mental issues are real. Everyone is human. Hug your kids, your friends, your spouse. Ask probing questions if something seems "off." Rest in peace, Chris. You are IN peace, now.

    I'm pretty sure Eddie is looking for someone to make sense of it for him so he can move on.

    At this point, not even move on. Just to ... move.

    Damn. Lot's of details in that first-hand account. 
    I'm torn when I read things like this. I appreciate the detail and insight, but it also annoys the fuck out of me when people start speculating on the brevity of what they think happened. Don't get me wrong, I know I do this too, but I also don't write it out for millions to read and use as the basis for what took place. I don't know, it seems disrespectful to the band, the family and friends for a total stranger to tell you how they think all these signs existed. I know that's probably not the writer's intent, but it still irks me.

    Sorry for the rant. Definitely still feeling this one deep.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I agree with this. hindsight is 20/20. guarantee you this guy wouldn't have written half of what he "noticed" had this not happened.

    I feel ya. Not sure who the writer was but I can appreciate a little insight to last night because everyone is saying everything seemed fine, but this person's POV seems there were some external signs that something was amiss. Nevertheless this is awful.
