Pearl Jam pay tribute to Anthony Bourdain on opening gig of Europe tour: Watch
With over two decades of worldwide live touring history under their belt, there's no doubt that Pearl Jam is a class act. Earlier in March, they kicked off their very first live gig of the year with a tribute to Chris Cornell. They proved that their heart is in the right place once again on Tuesday night as they kicked off the first show of the European tour at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands, NME reports.
Before the night's grand performance, Eddie Vedder took a moment to pay tribute to the late chef Anthony Bourdain and designer Kate Spade, after both passed away tragically recently.
Speaking in Dutch, Vedder said “We dedicate this to Anthony [Bourdain], my friend David [Spade], his brother Andrew [Spade],” the latter two being the brother-in-law and husband, respectively, of designer Kate Spade. “They are deep in our hearts tonight and we thank you.”
