There is an article in German newspaper taz today, called „Last wish: Pearl Jam“. 
The article is in German, so here is my summary:

In 2019 Roland buys tickets for Pearl Jam, his favorite band, show gets postponed to 2022. in the meantime, Roland becomes terminally ill with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He has to use a wheelchair now and it looks like the summer of 2022 will be his last. 

‪Roland has two goals for this summer: see his daughter turn 18 and see the band once again. He had to fight to get wheelchair tickets (because he didn’t buy one in 2019, because he wasn’t I’ll back then) but it looks like this is sorted out and he will be at waldbuehne next week! 

‪Some additional info (not in the article but straight from Roland): He would love to listen to Rearviewmirror, his „favorite dancing song“. If this is something the band could do, it would be so great ‬

Thanks in advance and see you next week.

    So sad. Hoping he gets his wish with Rearviewmirror and is able to see his daughter turn 18. Heartbreaking.

    Would love to see this happen. The band has so many personal ties to ALS that I’m sure if they read this they would fulfill his wish. Rooting for Roland in this!
    Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

    Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    Would love for Roland to hear RVM! What a shame it’s so hard for him to get in and no one feels responsible. Fingers crossed he gets in! Alles Gute für Roland!!

    and the sad thing is, that the wheelchair section is at the very back of the venue. i hope PJ finds a better solution, not only for Roland, but for all others too.

    I had RVM played often at the PJ shows I attended.
    BUT it is a great song, and the story behind makes it much more special for Berlin 2022.
    So, please play it for Roland!
