    I'm sure they will take their time until they are ready and I'm sure they will find some outlet to deal with this with music. Let's let them figure it out on their own and be ready to lift them up when we get the chance.

    This band has been through ALOT and they have always persevered. From Andy to Chris and way too many in between. I think them continuing the 2000 tour after Roskilde was always a very telling thing about how they deal with grief.

    I often think of Glen Hansards story of how Ed helped him through what happened to the Frames. I'm sure Glen and others are reaching right back this time. 

    Whatever happens I'm still terribly sad and I love Chris, Soundgarden and PJ.

    Apparently the funeral is the 26th.  Ed's tour is suppose to start the 27th.  At minimum i suspect the first show will either be cancelled or rescheduled.  Probably resceduled as there is a span of a week in between a couple of his shows on the tour.

    these guys grew up together musically. this is devastating.  i am walking around thinking i can't believe he's gone. i can only imagine how they feel. i am just a fan they were his friends. like brothers.  time will have to be the healer. there really isn't much more to say.

    They will continue on without a dear friend.

    Like we all do in life.

    Indeed. I mean fuck do you quit being an accountant or travel agent and you go in the fetal position and give up on life because you lost someone you love. Fuck no. You grief, however that may be, but shit you still live.These are grown men/women but for fucks sake they are in there 50's or 40's they've lost loved ones before and will lose people again. They for all purpose seem to love what they do and I'm sure they will address this in the future however they feel like they need to.

    Pearl Jam with a new drummer? At one point, Ed mentioned that if anything happened to Matt, he'd give Jack Irons a call, but that was eons ago.

    I can't be the only one watching that tour page with the current dates.

    This cannot be how it ends...but if it is...so be it.
    First off I'm so happy this thread exists because I thought I was the only one having these thoughts...
    i mentioned today to my friend about them maybe calling Jack Irons. I really don't see Matt wanting to play anytime soon. Tour anyway. 
    Jack quit for a reason. He can't handle heavy touring.

    PJ doesn't quit when they lose friends (Andy, Layne, etc). They will do things on their own terms.
    They don't tour havy anymore by any means tho. So if the need to replace Matt actually comes up, why wouldn't they ask Jack they're clearly on great terms still. That being said MC is our guy and I obviously hope that doesn't change. My heart goes out to the guy.
