Early life and education[edit]

Vedder was born Edward Louis Severson III on December 23, 1964, inEvanston, Illinois,to Karen Lee Vedder and Edward Louis Severson Jr.[7][8]His parents divorced in 1965 when Vedder was an infant. His mother soon remarried Peter Mueller. Vedder was raised believing that Mueller was his biological father, and he went by the name Edward Mueller for a time.[9]Vedder's ancestry includesDutch,German, English, andDanishon his mother's side (Vedder) andNorwegianon his father's side (Severson).[7][8]

While living in Evanston, Vedder's family fostered seven younger children in a group home.[10]In the mid-1970s, the family, including Vedder's three younger half-brothers, moved toSan Diego County, California.Vedder received a guitar from his mother on his 12th birthday, and began turning to music and surfing as a source of comfort. He especially found solace inThe Who's 1973 album,Quadrophenia.[11]He said, "When I was around 15 or 16...I was all alone—except for music."[12]His mother and Mueller divorced when Vedder was in his late teens. His mother and brothers moved back to the Chicago area, but Vedder remained with his stepfather in California so he did not have to change schools.

After the divorce, Vedder learned the truth about his parentage and that Mueller was really his stepfather, not his father. Vedder met his biological father briefly as a child, but was led to believe that Severson was merely an old friend of his parents. By the time Vedder learned the truth, Severson had died ofmultiple sclerosis.During his senior year atSan Dieguito High School,Vedder moved out to live in an apartment and supported himself with a nightly job at a drug store inEncinitas.[12]Because of the pressure of work and school, Vedder dropped out of high school.[12]He joined the rest of his family in the Chicago area, and changed his last name to Vedder, his mother's maiden name.

In the early 1980s, while working as a waiter, Vedder earned his high schoolGEDfromOakton Community College.[13]

Career[edit]

In 1984, Vedder returned to San Diego with his girlfriendBeth Lieblingand his friend Frank. While living in theSan Diegoarea, Vedder recordeddemo tapesat his home and worked various jobs, including as a contracted security guard at the La Valencia Hotel inLa Jolla.[14]Vedder had several stints in San Diego area bands, including Surf and Destroy and the Butts.[10]One of those bands, called Indian Style,[15]included futureRage Against the MachineandAudioslavedrummerBrad Wilk.[16]

In 1988, Vedder became the vocalist forBad Radio,a San Diego-based progressivefunk rockband. The band's original incarnation was influenced byDuran Duran;however, after Vedder joined, the band moved to a morealternative rocksound influenced in part by theRed Hot Chili Peppers.[17]

Temple of the Dog[edit]

In the 1980s, Vedder worked part time as a night attendant at a localgas station.[18]Through the Southern California music scene, Vedder met formerRed Hot Chili PeppersdrummerJack Irons,who became a friend and would play basketball with him.[19]Later in 1990, Irons gave him the demo tape of aSeattleband looking for a singer. Vedder listened to the tape shortly before goingsurfing,where lyrics came to him.[20]He wrote lyrics for three of the songs in what he later described as a "mini-opera" entitledMomma-Son.The songs tell the story of a young man who, like Vedder, learns that he had been lied to about his paternity and that his real father is dead, grows up to become a serial killer, and is eventually imprisoned and sentenced to death.[20]Vedder recorded vocals for the three songs, and mailed the demo tape back to Seattle. The three songs would later become Pearl Jam's "Alive","Once",and" Footsteps ".

After hearing Vedder's tape, formerMother Love BonemembersStone GossardandJeff Amentinvited Vedder to come to Seattle to audition for their new band. They were instantly impressed with his unique sound. At the time, Gossard and Ament were working on theTemple of the Dogproject founded bySoundgarden'sChris Cornellas a musical tribute to Mother Love Bone's frontmanAndrew Wood,who died of a heroin overdose at age 24. Soundgarden drummerMatt Cameronand newcomerMike McCreadywere also a part of the project. The song "Hunger Strike"became a duet between Cornell and Vedder. Cornell later said that Vedder" sang half of that song not even knowing that I'd wanted the part to be there and he sang it exactly the way I was thinking about doing it, just instinctively. "[21]

Vedder also provided background vocals on several other Temple of the Dog songs. In April 1991,Temple of the Dogwas released byA&M Records."Hunger Strike" became Temple of the Dog's breakout single; it was also Vedder's first featured vocal on a record.[22]"I really like hearing that song. I feel like I could be real proud of it – because one, I didn't write it, and two, it was such a nice way to be ushered onto vinyl for the first time. I'm indebted to Chris (Cornell) time eternal for being invited onto that track", Vedder said in 2009.[23]In the 2011 documentaryPearl Jam Twenty,Vedder said, "That was the first time I heard myself on a real record. It could be one of my favorite songs that I've ever been on – or the most meaningful."[24]Vedder and Cornell performed the song together for the last time on October 26, 2014, at a benefit forBridge School.[25]

Pearl Jam[edit]

Pearl Jam,initially called Mookie Blaylock after the formerNational Basketball Associationplayer of the same name,was formed in 1990 byJeff Ament,Stone Gossard,andMike McCready,[20]who then recruited Vedder as lead singer but hired and fired three different drummers.[10][27][28]The band was forced to change its name when they signed toEpic Recordsin 1991, becoming Pearl Jam, and instead naming their debut albumTenafter Blaylock's jersey number.

Tenbecame one of the best-selling albums of the 1990s, being certified 13× Platinum. The single "Jeremy"receivedGrammy Awardnominations forBest Rock SongandBest Hard Rock Performancein 1993.[29]Pearl Jam received four awards at the 1993MTV Video Music Awardsfor its music video for "Jeremy", includingVideo of the YearandBest Group Video.[30]Tenranks number 209 onRolling Stonemagazine's list of the500 greatest albums of all time,[31]and "Jeremy" was ranked number 11 onVH1's list of the 100 greatest songs of the '90s.[32]

Following an intense touring schedule, the band recorded its second studio album,Vs.,which was released in 1993. Upon its release,Vs.set the record at the time for most copies of an album sold in a week,[33]and spent five weeks at number one on theBillboard200.Vs.was nominated for aGrammy Award for Best Rock Albumin 1995.[34]FromVs.,the song "Daughter"received a Grammy nomination forBest Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocaland the song "Go"received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.[35]

Feeling the pressures of success, with much of the burden of Pearl Jam's popularity falling on Vedder,[20]the band decided to decrease the level of promotion for its albums, including refusing to release music videos.[36]Vedder's issue with fame came from what he stated as "what happens when a lot of these people start thinking you can change their lives or save their lives or whatever and create these impossible fuckin' expectations that in the end just start tearing you apart."[37]In 1994, the band began a much-publicized boycott ofTicketmaster,which lasted for three years and limited the band's ability to tour in the United States.[38]Vedder faced what he called a "pretty intense stalker problem" during the mid-1990s. Vedder would refer to the issue in the song "Lukin" fromNo Code.[39]

Later that same year the band released its third studio album,Vitalogy,which became the band's third straight album to reach multi-platinum status. On the album, Vedder was featured more extensively on rhythm guitar, and also provided back up vocals and some drumming. The pressure of fame is a common theme of Vedder's songs on the album.[40]The album received Grammy nominations forAlbum of the Yearand Best Rock Album in 1996.[41]Vitalogywas ranked 485th onRolling Stonemagazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[31]The lead single "Spin the Black Circle"won a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Hard Rock Performance.[34]AlthoughDave Abbruzzeseperformed on the albumVitalogy,he was fired in August 1994, four months before the album was released.[39]The band cited political differences between Abbruzzese and the other members; for example, he disagreed with the Ticketmaster boycott.[39]He was replaced by Jack Irons, a close friend of Vedder and the former and original drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[10]

The band subsequently releasedNo Codein 1996 andYieldin 1998. In 1998, prior to Pearl Jam's U.S.Yield Tour,Irons left the band due to dissatisfaction with touring.[42]Pearl Jam enlisted former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron as Irons' replacement on an initially temporary basis,[42]but he soon became the permanent replacement for Irons. "Do the Evolution"(fromYield) received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.[43]Vedder described Pearl Jam's approach in 1998, saying "We've had the luxury of writing our own job description...and that description has basically been cut down to just one line: make music."[44]

In 1998, Pearl Jam recorded "Last Kiss",a cover of a 1960s ballad made famous byJ. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers.It was released on the band's 1998 fan club Christmas single; however, by popular demand, the cover was released to the public as a single in 1999. "Last Kiss" peaked at number two on theBillboardcharts and became the band's highest-charting single.

In 2000, the band released its sixth studio album,Binaural,and initiated a successful and ongoing series ofofficial bootlegs.The band released seventy-two such live albums in 2000 and 2001, and set a record for most albums to debut in theBillboard200 at the same time.[45]"Grievance"(fromBinaural) received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.[46]The band released its seventh studio album,Riot Act,in 2002. Pearl Jam's contribution to the 2003 filmBig Fish,titled "Man of the Hour,"was nominated for aGolden Globe Awardin 2004.[47]The band's eighth studio album, the eponymousPearl Jam,was released in 2006. The band released its ninth studio album,Backspacer,in 2009, its tenth studio album,Lightning Bolt,in 2013, and its eleventh studio album,Gigaton,in 2020.

Vedder uses the pseudonym "Jerome Turner" on Pearl Jam records for his non-musical contributions[48]such as design and artwork.[49]He has also used the pseudonym "Wes C. Addle" ( "West Seattle" ).[50]

Activism[edit]

Vedder has used his role as a musician to speak on several politically-oriented themes. In 2009, he said, "People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up!

Vedder was a longtime and outspoken supporter for the Free theWest Memphis Threemovement, a cause that advocated the release of three young men who were convicted in 1994 of the gruesome murders of three boys inWest Memphis, Arkansas.In an interview withLarry Kingon December 19, 2007,Damien Echols,who was then on death row for the murders, said that Vedder had been the "greatest friend a person could have" and that he had collaborated with him while in prison.[89]The song "Army Reserve" on Pearl Jam's 2006 self-titled album features a lyrical collaboration between Vedder and Echols.

Musical style and influences[edit]

Music criticJim DeRogatishas described Vedder's vocals as a "Jim Morrison-like vocal growl ".[94]Greg Prato ofAllMusicsaid, "With his hard-hitting and often confessional lyrical style and Jim Morrison-esque baritone, Vedder also became one of the most copied lead singers in all of rock."[95]Vedder has inductedthe Doors,Neil Young,theRamones,andR.E.M.into theRock and Roll Hall of Fame,and in his induction speeches he has cited them all as influences. Other influences that Vedder has cited includePete TownshendandThe Who,which the singer considers to be his favorite band of all time,[96]The Beatles,Bruce Springsteen,Pink Floyd,Talking Heads,Fugazi,andThe Clash.[97][98][99]

Vedder's lyrical topics range from personal ( "Alive", fromTen;"Better Man", fromVitalogy) to social and political concerns ( "Even Flow",fromTen;"World Wide Suicide",fromPearl Jam). His lyrics have often invoked the use of storytelling and have included themes of freedom,individualism,and sympathy for troubled individuals.[100]Other recurring themes include the use of water metaphors,[101]and the concept of leaving everything behind to start again, which is featured in "Rearviewmirror",fromVs.;"MFC", fromYield;"Evacuation", fromBinaural;and "Gone",fromPearl Jam).

Although primarily a vocalist, Vedder began playing guitar on some Pearl Jam songs with theVs.songs "Rearviewmirror" and "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town".When the band started, Gossard and McCready were clearly designated as rhythm and lead guitarists, respectively. The dynamic began to change when Vedder started to play more rhythm guitar during theVitalogyera. McCready said in 2006, "Even though there are three guitars, I think there's maybe more room now. Stone will pull back and play a two-note line and Ed will do apower chordthing, and I fit into all that. "[102]Vedder's guitar playing helped the band's sound progress toward a more stripped-down style; the songs "Rearviewmirror" and "Corduroy"(fromVitalogy) feature Vedder's raw, punk-influenced guitar playing. As he had more influence on the band's sound, Vedder sought to make the band's musical output lesscatchy.He said, "I felt that with more popularity, we were going to be crushed, our heads were going to pop like grapes."[103]He has also contributed performances on theukulele,harmonica,accordion,andelectric sitarto various Pearl Jam recordings.

Live performances[edit]

Vedder with Pearl Jam in June 2018

Throughout Pearl Jam's career, Vedder has interacted with the crowd during the band's concerts. Early in Pearl Jam's existence, Vedder and the band became known for their intense live performances. Vedder participated instage divingas well ascrowd surfing.During the early part of Pearl Jam's career, Vedder was known to climb the stage lighting rig and hang from the stage roof. Looking back at this time, Vedder said, "It's hard for us to watch early performances, even though that's when people think we were on fire and young. Playing music for as long as I had been playing music and then getting a shot at making a record and at having an audience and stuff, it's just like an untamed force...a different kind of energy. And I find it kind of hard to watch those early performances because it's so just fucking, semi-testosterone-fueled or whatever. But it didn't come from jock mentality. It came from just being let out of the gates."[104]

Vedder began incorporating social commentary and political criticism into his lyrics and performances early in his career with Pearl Jam. He usually comments on politics between songs, often to criticizeU.S. foreign policy.During Pearl Jam's 2007Lollapaloozaheadlining show, Vedder and the band played a song telling the crowd in Chicago to boycott the oil companyBPbecause they had been pollutingLake Michigan.[105]

Vedder is known to use a Mike Lull-modified,[106]vintage FenderTelecasterthat features a single coil pickup in the bridge position and aP-90pickup in the neck position, as well as various stickers as a tribute to his favorite band of all time,The Who.He uses three vintage Fender Tweed amplifiers, including a 1959 Deluxe and a 1957 Custom Twin. His two main acoustic guitars are a 1930s-era Martin 00-17 and a vintage Gibson Pete Townshend Signature SJ-200.[107]

Legacy[edit]

"I just love to hear Eddie sing. I think he's got such a distinctive, fabulous voice. He doesn't copy, so that's what I like; he does the Eddie Vedder version. It's never easy to do because most people will just try and copy what the Who have done. He's always himself."

—Roger Daltreydiscussing Vedder's singing.[108]

Lamenting the constant waning ofrock 'n rollfrom the music scene,Bono,in 2017, expounded that "Rage" is the fundamental component of rock 'n roll and said, "Some great rock’n’roll tends to have that, which is why the Who were such a great band. Or Pearl Jam. Eddie has that rage."[109]

Vedder was ranked seventh on a list of "Best Lead Singers of All Time" compiled byRolling Stone.[5]Loudwireput him at number 35 on their Top 66 Hard Rock + Heavy Metal Frontmen of all time.[110]He has been ranked at number 5 on a list of "Singer with the Most Unique Voice", compiled byRolling Stone.[111]Other singers likeRoger Daltreyofthe Who,[112]Bruce DickinsonofIron Maiden[113]andJohn Densmoreofthe Doorshave praised him for his singing ability.[114]Hit Paradermagazine placed him at number 23 on their list of the"Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time".[115]His solo albumInto the Wildwas ranked at no. 20 on the list ofTop 20 Rock 'n' Roll Solo AlbumsbyConsequence of Sound.[116]In 2023,Rolling Stoneranked Vedder at number 105 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.[117]

Vedder attended San Dieguito High School, now calledSan Dieguito Academy,and donated proceeds from a 2006 Pearl Jam concert in San Diego toward the construction of a theater for the school in the name of his former drama teacher, Clayton E. Liggett. Liggett was Vedder's mentor in high school. Vedder wrote the song "Long Road" (fromMerkin Ball) upon hearing of Liggett's death in 1995.[118]

While living in the basement of Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis' house in Seattle in the early 1990s, Vedder was roommates withAlice in Chainsguitarist and vocalistJerry Cantrell.[119]Vedder was also friends with Alice in Chains' lead singerLayne Staley,and wrote the song "4/20/02" (fromLost Dogs) on the night that he found out about Staley's death, on April 20, 2002 (though Staley had actually died over two weeks earlier on April 5, his body was found on April 19).[120]Vedder also paid tribute to Staley during a Pearl Jam show in Chicago on August 22, 2016, which would have been Staley's 49th birthday; "It's the birthday of a guy called Layne Staley tonight, and we're thinking of him tonight too. 49 years old", Vedder told the crowd before dedicating the song "Man of the Hour"to his late friend.[121]

In 1994, Vedder marriedHovercraftbass playerBeth Liebling,[122]whom he was dating since he was a teenager, circa 1984.[123][124]Vedder was Hovercraft's drummer during their opening slot forMike Watt's U.S. tour in 1995.[125]The couple divorced in September 2000.[123][126][127]In an interview published in the June 29, 2006, edition ofRolling Stonemagazine, Vedder said that his divorce from Liebling had devastated him.[123]The divorce happened around the same time as the biggest tragedy of Pearl Jam's career, when nine fans were crushed to death during the band's set at theRoskilde Festivalin Denmark on June 30, 2000.[123]In an interview with Chris Cornell's daughter Lily in 2020, Vedder explained that their show started on a high because they had just been told about her birth, until about 40 minutes into their performance when the tragedy happened. Vedder revealed thatPete Townshendhelped him through the early stages of dealing with the tragedy.[128]

On September 18, 2010, Vedder married his longtime girlfriend, modelJill McCormick,whom he had been dating since 2000.[129][130]They have two daughters, Olivia, born in 2004, and Harper, born in 2008.[131]In 2011, McCormick appeared in the music video for Vedder's solo single, "Longing to Belong".[132]In 2014, Vedder and McCormick co-founded the EB Research Partnership,[133]a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for the genetic skin disorderepidermolysis bullosa.[134]They have raised over US$25 million to fund research to find a cure.[135]

Vedder was a close friend of the late Chris Cornell, theSoundgardenandAudioslavefrontman. Aside from Vedder's Pearl Jam bandmates, Cornell was one of the first people Vedder met after moving to Seattle in 1990. The two were neighbors for a while and shared vocal duties inTemple of the Dog.In the 2009 bookGrunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music,Soundgarden managerSusan Silverrecalled that Cornell carried Vedder onstage on his shoulders at Pearl Jam's second show in Seattle (the band was known as Mookie Blaylock at the time): "Everyone was still reeling from [Andrew Wood]'s death... The band came on and Chris carried Eddie onto the stage – he was on his shoulders. It was one of those super powerful moments, where it was all a big healing for everybody. He came out as this guy who had all the credibility in the world – in terms of people in Seattle – andMalfunkshunandMother Love Bonewere loved bands. Andy was such an endearing personality. It was a hard thing to do – to show up after people die. And Chris bringing Eddie out, and pointing at him, as much[136][137]Pearl Jam lead guitaristMike McCreadyrecalled that Cornell had helped welcome the "'super, super shy'" Vedder to Seattle: "He was like, 'Hey, welcome to Seattle. I love Jeff [Ament] and Stone [Gossard]. I give you my blessing". From then on [Vedder] was more relaxed. It was one of the coolest things I saw Chris do' ".[138]In a 2009 interview withUncutmagazine, Vedder stated that Cornell is "the best singer that we've got on the planet".[139]About the impact that Cornell had in his life, Vedder told a crowd in Alpine Valley before performing "Hunger Strike" with him in September 2011; "I had no idea how he would affect my life and my views on music and my views on friendship and what a big impact he would have. These guys [the other members of Pearl Jam] know him much longer than me and his impact is profound".[140][141]The friendship between Vedder and Cornell is featured in the 2011 documentaryPearl Jam Twenty.[142][143]During his solo concert in London on June 6, 2017, Vedder talked for the first time about Cornell since his death on May 18, 2017, saying that "he wasn't just a friend, he was someone I looked up to like my older brother" and "I will live with those memories in my heart and I will love him forever".[144]

Vedder is a friend of The Who guitaristPete Townshend,who discouraged Vedder from retiring in 1993.[145]In late 2007, Vedder wrote the foreword to a new Pete Townshend biography,Who Are You: The Life of Pete Townshend.The book was published in the UK in March 2008 and in the U.S. in October 2008. Vedder was a close friend of the late Ramones guitaristJohnny Ramone,with Vedder being at his side when he died. Since Ramone's death, Vedder and Pearl Jam have played the Ramones' "I Believe in Miracles" regularly at live shows. While driving home from Ramone's funeral, Vedder wrote the lyrics for the Pearl Jam song "Life Wasted"(fromPearl Jam).[103]

While surfing withTim Finnin New Zealand on March 25, 1995, Vedder was carried 250 feet (76 m) off the coast and had to be rescued by lifeguards.[146]He has also paddledoutrigger canoeson occasion and in 2005 was nearly lost at sea trying to paddle fromMolokaʻitoOʻahu.[147]

Vedder has written songs and lyrics that question religious authority.[148]Vedder is aChicago BullsandChicago Bearsfan[149][150]and a long-time, die-hard fan of theChicago Cubs.[151][152][153][154]In November 1993, Vedder andWhite SoxpitcherJack McDowellwere involved in a barroom brawl inNew Orleans,Louisiana that resulted in Vedder being arrested for public drunkenness and disturbing the peace.[155]Vedder sang thenational anthembefore the third game of the1998 NBA Finalsin Chicago,[156]and has sung "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"at six Cubs games, including Game 5 of the2016 World Series.In 2007, a few days before performing with Pearl Jam in Chicago for Lollapalooza, he threw out the first pitch atWrigley Field,the home of the Cubs.[157]Vedder wrote a song at the request of former Cubs shortstop and first basemanErnie Bankspaying tribute to the Cubs called "All the Way".[158][159]The day after the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, the Cubs' official Twitter account posted a montage video backed by Vedder's song in a tribute to Cubs fans.[160]

The annual series between theSeattle MarinersandSan Diego Padresis often nicknamed theVedder Cupdue to both cities being hometowns of the singer.[161][162][163]

The singer is also a great admirer of the late American science fiction authorKurt Vonnegut.[164]During an interview withUncut Magazine,he stated that the novelCat's Cradleis his favorite book of all time.[165]
