Israel has just died. I’m devastated.

Hi, there!

This is Azu from Mexico. Hope everyone is going well and your loved ones too.
Today my friend Israel is undergoing heart surgery. Doctors are positive about the success of the six hours operation, but unfortunately his plans to attend with me and other friends to Barcelona are cancelled. I would like to find the right words to express how much this travel means to him. How he was planning all our travel and evidently the things he did to tie work, free days and save money to this vacation. But I’m sure you all can understand that because maybe you have been doing several efforts to travel too.

“It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead...” you’re totally right EV. One day we are so happy planning attent to another concert of our loved band together in another country, in another continent and then suddenly he had a heart attack and then on a six hours surgery. So here I am to request on behalf of him the song that has been his white whale: OCEANS. 
He has traveled before to South America and evidently he attended to all PJ concerts that have been played in Mexico but Oceans has not been played. 

So please Pearl Jam, I’m begging you that please play Oceans in Barcelona dedicated to Israel, the date of his birthday, the day he was waiting for since the Euro tour was announced, the date he would be attending to his first Euro tour, the date he will be celebrating his 33 years old (because I know he will be fine after surgery) but recovering from home instead of celebrating in the front row as we were planning. :disappointed:

We all know that attending to a Pearl Jam show is more than a concert experience but a life experience, a way to make dreams come true, a way to connect much more with our friends and family. I know Pearl Jam is one of the few bands that really cares about their fans and I'm sure that if it is possible, they will realize this dream for my friend. 

I really appreciate your support in advance and your time to read.
Take care of you and your loved ones and never reserve to yourself the love you feel for them.

Sincerly,

Azu.

    It would be the best if PJ just opened in Barcelona with simply Ed saying "This one is for Israel" and then "1...2....3....(Inhale)....Hold on, to the thread!"

    Please play Oceans PJ!
