    Postpone Italy shows and resume in Prague
    Holy hell, this would be REAL shit storm here.  I'm sure there are lots of people who planned entire vacations around the Italy run.
    If I was in Italy and pj canceled their show I d take one breathe and realize that I am still in freaking Italy. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Get well soon, Ed. Take your time, health is first.

    Travelled from Spain, annual holidays, expensive shitty hostel in London, tickets only for the second night... A bit sad at first but it doesn't matter because PJ is not about one night, because your music never, NEVER let me down.

    I would come back again and again.

    I traveled from Canada for the two London shows and the first two in Italy.  I understand the situation and am glad London 1 still happened.  It would be appreciated if they had a more transparent comment about the status of Italy.  I assume they don't know the answer.  In my opinion they shouldn't say expected to resume if they don't know.  They should say a decision will be made closer to the time if that's the true status. They should also offer refunds for anyone that doesn't want the further risk.  There are considerable incremental travel costs for Italy that can somewhat be avoided now that can't a day from now.

    Damn! Ed's voice needs to get better. The world needs more good Pearl Jam music. It seems odd, but the only worry I've ever had with this band is if/when the voice gives out. Almost 30 years of what he's been doing is amazing. Rest and recover Ed! 
    For sure....

    Easier said than done. I've seen PJ 80 times and each show is like a bookmark in my life. If Barcelona gets canceled, I'll live but I'll still be disappointed that the experience didn't happen. People should appreciate what they have but also have the right to be disappointed.

    Sure hope Ed gets better soon. It may not be the flu, but could be laryngitis, and that should heal up in three days or so. (although I'm no doctor!)

    Earlier this year i had a cold and didnt rest. It went into pnumonia, then a sinus infection and devolved into a double ear infection. Three rounds of antibiotics and three months later I fonally got better. 

    I should have rested instead of pushing myself. I hope Ed is doing the same or else the rest of the tour will be jeopardy.

    Last year I went with my girlfriend to see Eddie's solo concert in Florence. When he came on to the stage and started talking, my girlfriend who is not such a big PJ fan looked at me and said: "This guy is going to sing?" His voice sounded like he could barely speak. Of course, after that his singing was excellent.
    But let's face it guys, though his voice is still very good and PJ trademark, you can see him struggling to get the same sound out of his mouth, and it seems like he is struggling more and more as the years go by.
    Let's just hope it's just a temporary illness and that he hasn't some serious permanent damage on his vocal chords.

    Get well, Ed!
    See you in Padova.

    Everybody go see pearl jamm  to night  great band .  Next best thing if stuck in London  all night @webbo
    Thanks mate! That was a superb gig and made all the more special as Pearl Jam played the borderline in 1992. The crowd were absolutely brilliant and it was a privilege to put on a show for them. Won’t forget that one in a hurry!

    The waiting is driving me mad. Best wishes to Eddie Vedder, i hope this is nothing long term or too serious. Hoping he recovers as soon as possible. But something is up and we’re not totally sure what it is. You could tell something was off just from the setlist of the first show. Cancelling a show because of a voice problem early in a tour is a BIG deal. It makes me think this could be really bad potentially, and the worst scenarios come to mind. There’s a LOT riding on the line if any more shows ever got cancelled for masses of people. Too much spiritual healing and spiritual adventure left by the wayside.

     You have to think you have to try and make it happen any way you can at all costs. The spirit of rock and roll is very much alive. Dave Grohl breaks a leg on stage, ok they’re going to take me to the hospital, they’re going to put these bones back in place, i’m going to sit in a chair, and we are going to rock even fucking harder because I know just how much this means to the people and I know how bad they need this!! 

    This isn’t bad weather, this isn’t the law, this seems somewhat manageable. There are so many options if Eddie Vedder can’t go even at 33%. Good thing we have the loudest, most communal crowd on the planet that sings all the lyrics to any given song even Other Side, Angel, Dead Man, you name it. Just play all the hits, we will take the vocals. Let Stone sing. Mike, Jeff, and Matt all sing if singing even really matters that much. I personally don’t really care much for the vocals, the guitar and instrumentation is what always did it for me with this band.

    You could play the shows instrumentally. You could play the shows acoustically. You could bring an orchestra in. Let’s break some barriers! It’s ok to give it 50% if you had to. Eddie Vedder shouldn’t be giving it 100% at this point anyways, the vocals here just aren’t that important not like it’s anything virtuoso. Playing harsh songs on the voice like Deep, Mind Your Manners, Brain of J seems kind of questionable when the voice isn’t right. I’m just so passionate for this music, we gotta push through this shit. If you are going to cancel another show or the whole tour please announce it sooner than later so people can attempt to change plans. We are going to see what this band is made of in these next couple weeks at this older age.
