Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder: 'The Who Changed My World'

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has paid tribute to the influence that The Who had on him and the band.

“These guys changed my whole world. It’s a big part of why I get to do what I do,” Vedder told Rolling Stone.

The singer was still able to recall the moment when he first saw the Who: June 18th 1980 at the San Diego Sports Arena.

Pearl Jam formed part of a VH1 tribute to The Who - which took place in Los Angeles last weekend.

Other bands who appeared included The Foo Fighters, Tenacious D and Flaming Lips.

As previously reported on Gigwise, The Who's Roger Daltrey hinted last week that the band may never release another album, saying they've “done enough already.”
