After Pearl Jam rose to global stardom in the early ‘90s, Eddie Vedder became an idol for rock and roll fans. Born Edward Louis Severson III on December 23, 1964, he had a turbulent life growing up. In 1988, he formed his first real band, Bad Radio, but left the band after it failed to break out of local status.

Later, Red Hot Chili Peppers ex-drummer, Jack Irons, gave him some demo tapes forwarded by Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready. Eddie wrote and recorded some songs and mailed them back to Stone, Jeff and Mike. They soon invited him to Seattle after finding Eddie was the voice they were searching for.
