Just seeing this now… feeling terrible for all that had tickets. Both the locals who’ve been waiting for a show and for those who made travel plans…. Hoping no one is out too much money and is able to still enjoy the sights in a fantastic city if you’ve been locked into your travel plans.

I think the advice would be, going forward, just try to see the shows that are closer to you and don’t make big travel plans. It’s a gamble and nothing about it is inexpensive.
That would be a good plan except most of us don’t get “closer” shows from them anymore
First things first....people get sick. Bruce got sick. The Stones got sick. People are still dealing with long Covid. But they just put out a great new album, and one they are very energized to play. Based on recent comments, I still see 1-2, maybe even 3 albums from these guys. At least. So, it is what it is. Older immune systems prob need to quit smoking, esp for something like being a singer. We all just want them healthy overall. So while this sucks for people who had tickets, they arent 28 years old anymore and arent invincible. Expect a cancellation every now and again. They may need to rethink the way they travel, maybe have some lead-time before they play their first gig, after arriving in Europe, etc. Still too much fun and too much money to be made.
I still dont think they would ever "quit". I think they would continue to operate as Pearl Jam, operate the 10C, still tour places they know will sell out and still put out albums and songs. I still see them doing their own things for a while too. It will probably just look different once they get a little bit older.
So i dont think this occurrence is any reason to jump to conclusions. But at the same time, I would not be totally surprised if they altered the way they did things a bit, and so forth.
Yup I think also highly likely that as well as Ed, another bandmate got sick. It doesn't have to be a big worry story, other than Ed got sick, was on recovery, and then passed it to someone else. April/May - everyone in UK was sick, and a lot of COVID won't have been recorded as nobody tests.
Also, are they still selling the merch? I was in line there and bought it with tons of other folks while this announcement was dropping
Says on insta they’ll be closing at 5pm today. However, I came out just before 1pm from getting my purchase, & there was no queue outside the building. Could’ve just gone around & straight back in 😬 Really wasn’t busy at all…

I think the altering has already taken place, no? Fewer cities, less travel, more expensive tickets and shorter, more predictable setlists. I agree that they probably wont ever completely quit, but they have surely entered their endgame/cruise control era.

This sucks, wouldn't be surprised if it was Covid. I picked it up while in Dublin and right now I feel like I got hit by a bus. If Ed or any of the guys are feeling like I do then I'm not surprised it was cancelled.
I had tickets for the London show too but made the call yesterday that I wasn't gonna make it and to prioritise recovery for Barcelona. Hopefully the guys recover for Berlin and can then rip through the rest of the tour.
For anyone already in London or travelling for the remaining shows, Covid is definitely hitting hard right now so look after yourselves!
I got the merch including all 4 prints about 30 minutes before the cancelation. I’m still glad I got what I did and I support these artists. Not their fault it was canceled and they put a lot of work into these.
Going to see Green Day at Wembley now. Not the same but not bad either.
Wow, that’s some positive attitude you have. I’d be furious spending £120 on posters for shows that don’t even happen and asking for a refund in that.
For what it's worth, the best PJ poster I own or will ever own is from a cancelled show.

Those purchases will unfortunately not support those artists. They make their money on their AP sales, which I expect may be a little tough going.
Hopefully there can be something done on PJS side to make sure these artists are paid, especially if APs fall flat
If the APs fall flat, thats on the artist and their design, especially for these 4 prints. The brain toilet mouth poster is one of the worst concert posters I have ever seen.
would agree normally but there has to be very limited demand for a show that doesnt happen.
I mean i wouldnt buy that brain one if it was signed by the band as well but thats a side issue
Maybe I’m crazy but I buy the posters for the artwork. Sure it’s great if it’s also a show I attended but that’s not a big deal for me. The image is what gives me enjoyment.

Speculation is unhelpful I guess but his covid strain seems to be spreading easily. I had it a couple of weeks ago . it could be even if the first member has recovered its now been passed on to others

They ain't quitting any time soon. They have a whole organization to take care of. Ed even mentioned in the one interview they have to do shows each year to pay for their warehouse and staff. They aren't going to start kicking people to the curb while they are still willing and able to be a band. don't overreact to cancellations.

I just caught it recently after Jane's addiction show. It was so wonderful that it was worth it.
No, seriously, recovering now and notice that this variant is not so aggressive that it was years ago (in my particular case).
Hopefully, they can be fine for Barcelona.
Very sorry for fans in London and speedy recovery to the people that got sick.

if you really did it because you wanted to support these artists shouldnt you buy the posters from their own site and not the ones from pearl jam which they make 0 dollars from

Cool for you. But by that there are a million artworks out there by a million artists for a million bands. And the best are the A Nightmare on Elm Street posters removed from music alltogether.
So, I would think no mater how good the art is arists need to rely also on other targets groups.

Yeah, the altering has taken place a bit. We are seeing some of that. But what I mean is...maybe 6-10 years from now, maybe its even a bit more altered to be more like the Fall Leg.
And I agree they arent quitting any time soon. I just think they probably need to rethink some of their international travel plans. Maybe arrive in Europe, then have a week before they play their first gig, etc.
I'll go back to that quitting smoking thing. Not so much for the fans, but for the family. (and for the fans )

Do we know for sure that Ed still smokes? I honestly don't remember the last show I was at where he smoked on stage. Don't remember seeing it in Canada in 2022, or Vegas/Seattle this year. Has he smoked on stage in recent years?

It was mentioned in one (or several?) recent interviews where he said he does. Probably cut back, and not doing it publicly anymore.
