Best voted letters to Eddie Vedder
My name is Kenita I am from Oklahoma now in Las Vegas. My only child died by suicide on October 16, 2022. He set our home on fire with himself inside. I was able to save some memories from the ashes. Your song Black played on a loop for months after he died. You gave a voice to my feelings. Thank you for singing what I struggle to say out loud. I got my son's infant footprints tattooed on my right arm. I have since added a Pearl Jam tattoo to my left arm. Thank you again for the music.
Hey Eddie,
I know you have been fighting ticket sales forever. I recently have had to deal with the ticketmaster fiasco dealing with my daughter and Taylor Swift tickets - and I am hear to tell you there is a "BetterWay". The ticketmaster hold has to end - and it won't end with fan club memberships as admirable as they are the nominal fee is nothing to scalpers and they join in the hundreds if not thousands to take advantage of any ticket sales - even if it costs them more. But how we all listen to music has changed sooo much now, we are all streaming music and why not tie the two together. Why not actually put the control of ticket sales to the artist tied in with the ability to sell tickets based on those that stream particular items of interest to the artist on performances. We need to put ticket sales back in artists hands and allow them to have true fans enjoy the show and not allow scalpers to enjoy the profits. What I am recommending is capturing streaming events (by third party allowance on to any streaming service) - to capture who ultimately should get front of the line access controlled by the artist and not the ticket agency. With all of the services now it would be impossible to pair with one, and this would be an idea to pair with them all - if fans want to receive the chance to have exclusive tickets they are truly fans judged by there listening behaviour based on points anonymously selected by the artist. If the artist wants fans that stream "song X" to be ranked higher than "song Y" on the radio all the time they can do so - and the fan is rewarded - as well as the artist who gets to show there talents to the true fans. I need help in getting this idea off the ground but I know you have always been a true believer in the fan gets the tickets idea - so would love to work with you more on it.
Hi Eddie, I'm Debbie. I love Pearl Jam your voice and your songs sing to my heart and soul. I am in AA and I have been sober almost 2 years. Thanks to you and the band I listen to Pearl Jam everyday I am a fan and Pearl Jam has always been my #1 band. I wanted to thank you so much for your beautiful voice and Pearl Jams music. Without you I would not have been able to put down drugs and alcohol. Now Pearl Jam is my best addiction. Thank you for the lyrics in the songs I love them all. The songd over the years have made me feel like you are really a Holy man. Considerate, kind and loving. Thank you so much. Warmest wishes to you and your family and of course Pearl Jam
Hello, Eddie.
I love Pearl Jam since I first listened Vs. and I saw you 2 times live in Barcelona and Imola ( both great!)
But today, sadly, I'm not here to talk about the goodness of your music but about my wife, who loves you above and beyond everything.
She's been suffering depression for 1 year and now bad suicidal ideas are coming to her mind. In fact she only felt ok during the weekend of your gig in Imola on last June.
We have 2 children and I feel desperated for them mainly. Doctors and medication are not being so helpful as I'd wish... so I'd just embarrassedly want to ask if you could write something by email ( or whatever you want) and help her to keep strong and looking for a hopeful future
If it's yours, only one word would be a great help for us.
We love you. There might be most talented singers & musicians, but no one 100% honest and true like you.
Take care. Joy!
Dear mr. Vedder
I was saddened to hear about your voice . Your songs give me great joy . I am a neurologist trained at Barrows . If you need a good ENT I may be able to help.. hopefully not . I wish you a total recovery.
Sincerely
Dr. Michele Scott
Dear eddie.
My name is Maxime and im from montebello in the quebec.i am 25 sinc july 9.
There is so much thigs i would ask you and tell you about me lol. Im born to be just like you. Im a singer to and my dream is to sing à song with you live on stage. I can almost reach highest chris cornell pitch. 3 days ago i fucked my voice doing à show and now it tast like blood and i cant sing.. hey is it possible to have a real conversation with you. I know its sound crazy caus we dont know each others. It would be so awsome to see you. I work as a security Gard in the fairemont chateau montebello and i really like this job. But i k ow somewhere inside that i will die on a stage if you know what i mean. I wrote some songs and lol some are good some are real good but some are just wast lol id like you to hear them. I wrote a lot of messeges to you and i never had an answer. I dont expect an answer to. I understand. It must be tough to be Eddie Vedder in a sens. You are the best signer and songs writer in the world. My dad died 5 years ago at my birthday. It was not easy but i learned from that. Now i understand a little bit more why life is precious and that its important to help others when they feel pain. This is what your music did to me.
Sorry if its long to read lol oh and sometime my english sucks :)
Thank you eddie.
Merci
Please re-release your first album, Into The Wild, on vinyl.
It is one of my favorite albums of all time and I have been trying to find it for almost a decade. I am sure many fans are in the same situation.
I know you're a big vinyl lover and certain you may have felt the longing to listen to an album on Vinyl but not being able to get a reasonably priced copy or learning that it never came out on Vinyl in the first place.
Thanks for the consideration and for being the best voice in rock music history (tied with Chris Cornell).
Dear Eddie, you throwed a women out your concert in Paris. But....A specztor wrote in YOu Tube that au man, in front if her, maintened his arms up with his smartphone and blocked her view to the stage.
She asked him many times to put his arms down but this selfish conard didn't. I don't likee violence but I would surely have react like her : bam !
I'll try to include the important things without sidetracking. My husband passed in 2020 from auto accident we were in and I lost my memory, waking up 4 hrs later and I swear told exactly this " your passenger didn't survive and your dog is unrecognizable" last memory I was running. Leaving the hosp. Better Man starts as I buckle belt. Our song, I always thought he wasn't the one but he was my world. When we first started hanging out he said he knew I was a keeper bc I had the Ten cassette in my collection. He was obsessed with PJ, but Eddie he admired. We married in 96 and joined the fan club few yrs later, traveling a few hrs so we could always see you. I had a pretty good life and didn't really appreciate your work as I do this moment, it's my connection to my best friend, spouse, the man I knew 3 things with absolute certainty, and that was so big knowing not believing. I'm digressing....we had a pearl jam memorial and wore shirts, played ur music and had quote or line from breath,just breath on the back of photos cards made for all who adored this man. He was I'll and I wish I could tell u how god works in ways we see but still don't want to or whatever the heck...I'm trying to get the importance in here......when I hear ur music randomly its as if he is speaking to me. The accident was 5 days from our 24th anniversary. I don't know how to live so I'm existing only . Thank you for being a part of my life story I'm starting to delve into it your music-all of it and finding more than music but as my husband, Dustin Crosby did decades ago.
Listening to Ten album now, and yup I'm still alive, if u knew the irony of life and your songs......12 concussions and I'm still alive......
Ok that's all or I'll really go in all directions.
Thanks for touching a man whos heart was pure and good.
Flip flop
I drop
Down to my knees
I beg Lord save me from this disease
I'm drowning in pain
Question am I sane
Flip flop I drop
