Last week, the group canceled their concert in Vienna, later the Vedder advised canceling the show in Prague, Czech Republic and two shows in Amsterdam, according to Billboard. The vocalist was voiceless due to problems caused by the extreme heat in Europe.

“Despite ongoing medical treatment, Ed is unfortunately still voiceless and unable to perform at tonight’s show in Amsterdam. This is again the worst possible scenario for the band. We sincerely apologize to everyone. (…) All our best wishes. energies now will be focused on putting on a show tomorrow.” The band said in a statement on Twitter.

The band’s Amsterdam performance avoided a similar end to their North American tour, when two shows were canceled after the members were diagnosed with Covid-9.

Europe faces extreme heat

According to Rolling Stone USAscientists claim that climate change is the reason for the extreme heat wave in Europe, which in turn triggered forest fires in France.

“We know these temperatures are now possible in the UK because we are now living in a world that is already much warmer,” climate scientist Friederike Otto told Rolling Stone USA about the heat wave. “Also, it was predicted almost two weeks in advance. We knew this heat was coming.”
