The Seattle rockers have issued a statement
Pearl Jam have cancelled their planned concert at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 29th June due to illness.
Eddie Vedder was suffering from vocal issues during Pearl Jam’s concert at Manchester Co-op Live earlier this week as he battled an illness picked up after the band’s show in Dublin.
Without specifically naming Eddie Vedder, the Seattle rockers issued the following statement this afternoon (28th June):
“The Pearl Jam concert scheduled for Saturday, June 29th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has regrettably been cancelled due to illness in the band.
“This decision was the last thing we wanted to have to make, especially as we know so many of you made travel plans based on the tour schedule. There was simply no other option based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage.
“We couldn’t be more disappointed to not play one of our favourite cities this tour. Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time due to existing schedule commitments.
“We are deeply grateful for your support and sincerely apologize to the incredible Pearl Jam community for the inconvenience and disappointment.
“Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”
Everyone at Absolute Radio wishes the Pearl Jam band member(s) well with their recovery.
