Is Stone OK?

Mask aside, lots of people saying he seemed subdued, off to the side, just seemed off at the recent show.  Hope he's OK

    It's a Stone-bot. Face isn't finished, thus the mask.

    I'm in Toronto. Stone's fine. Mask on, but rocking out as only Stone does.

    Everyone assumes he must have something if he’s masking.  Maybe he is just wearing it as protection.  It’s not the worst idea in the world.

    There is no way he has COVID. Lots of venues still have testing procedures in place for performers and their crews. On top of the fact that Pearl Jam is not made up of the kind of folks that would subject their audience to that.

    Maybe sick with something else. Maybe just making a statement because there is no reason for him not to wear one.

    Mike was wearing one in Europe.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Could be that he's not positive, but was around someone who is/was.

    Seems like the same old Stone to me. Mask is probably precaution or he has a cold.

    We were in Hamilton & Toronto, and yes, he wore a mask both nights and there wasn't much, if any, interaction with other band members, but he played like the guitar fiend he is. 

    Not gonna speculate on his health, but wish him a speedy recovery if he's ill, and want to thank him and the guys for two great Canadian shows. Looking forward to MSG!!!

    We had a great view of Stone in Hamilton. He didn't dance much, kinda hung back near Boom. Had one point he crept forward almost all the way to his effects pedals, reached out and tapped one with his toe, then walked back.

    In Toronto, he was much more animated. Entirely possible he was under the weather, and the mask is just a precaution. I think the guys are taking this all pretty seriously still (see: Mike donning the mask to head into the crowd).

    Mike put a mask on when he went down into the crowd at the end of Toronto show.  Just precaution I think

    This is most likely the correct assumption.
