It felt like you might not be able to breathe, you might not be able to get through the night, and you might have to go to the hospital.”
The singer then revealed how the disease has affected “some” of those on tour. “You realize how precious this life is. How lucky we are to live on a planet where we can go out and play music for amazing people like the people in this room tonight,” he said. Eddie Vedder.
So, it was a moving experience. I won’t forget it anytime soon. And we won’t forget this night anytime soon.
