The lyrics have already led to some speculation. Because on the track, Vedder sings about a person he lost and still longs for. It could be his brother Chris, who died in an accident in 2016.
Vedder’s album Earthling will be released on February 11th. The singer will also be touring North America with his new solo project. The musician will be accompanied by his new solo band, the Earthlings. The band consists of Watt, Klinghoffer, Smith, bassist Chris Chaney and multi-instrumentalist Glen Hansard. He will also open the concerts with his own set.
Vedder will also be touring with Pearl Jam. A number of concerts have already been confirmed, starting with the Pink Pop Festival in the Netherlands on June 18th.
