Pearl Jam axed two Berlin dates as the band continues to battle sickness
Pearl Jam's European tour is getting shorter and shorter due to band sickness.
Pearl Jam have cancelled two more shows due to illness.
Eddie Vedder and co will no longer be playing Berlin on July 2 and July 3, as they have "yet to recover" from illness.
Despite their best efforts to reschedule the concerts, they were unable to, and vowed to return to the German capital in the future.
A statement on X read: "We are sorry to share that the Pearl Jam concerts scheduled for Tuesday, July 2nd and Wednesday, July 3rd in Berlin are cancelled. Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase.
"Thank you for [your] continued understanding and support, it means the world."
In a typed-out statement, they expanded: “The impacts of this decision are not lost on us. We feel deeply that so many people spend their time, money, and emotional energy to get tickets and then to come see the band and it is heart-wrenching to have to disappoint you.”
The 'Alive' rockers had already cancelled their London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gig scheduled for Saturday (29.06.24), due to band sickness.
Their last concert was at Manchester’s new CO-OP Arena on June 25.
Frontman Eddie has previously been forced to cancel shows due to vocal and throat damage.
In 2022, the "extreme circumstances" of playing an outdoor gig in France at a time when the hot weather had sparked a series of fires led to a cancellation.
The Grunge group said in a lengthy statement shared on their social media channels at the time: "To all those who were anticipating a great Pearl Jam show tonight in Vienna, we were too. However, due to the extreme circumstances at the last outdoor site outside of Paris (heat, dust, and smoke from the fires) our singer Ed Vedder’s throat was left damaged. He has seen doctors and had treatment but as of yet, his vocal cords have not recovered.
"This is brutal news and horrible timing…for everyone involved.
"Those who work so hard to put on the shows as well as those who give their precious time and energies to attend….
"As a band, we are deeply sorry and have tried to find options to still play. And Ed wants to play. There’s just no throat available at this time…
"So very, very deeply sorry."
In 2019, their concert at London's O2 arena was shelved due to Eddie completely losing his voice.
