Pearl Jam recently performed at the BottleRock music festival and one fan noted that the band frontman Eddie Vedder seemingly got a haircut. He noted that Eddie’s hair was much shorter at BottleRock concert than it was in Vegas last week.
Eddie Vedder performs with Bradley Cooper
During the BottleRock concert, Eddie Vedder performed with Bradley Cooper. It was certainly time for Jackson Maine to make his return to the stage. On Saturday, May 25, Bradley Cooper decided to join Eddie Vedder, who famously inspired his A Star Is Born character Jackson Maine — onstage at BottleRock Napa Valley food and music festival in Napa, Calif. for a surprise duet of “Maybe It’s Time” from his 2018 film.
“Please, would you join me in welcoming to the stage my great, great pal Bradley Cooper,” the Pearl Jam frontman, 59, told the crowd during the band’s headlining set at the music festival in a fan-posted video.
It has been noted that from there, the Maestro actor, kissed Vedder on the cheek and sat onstage next to him as he strummed the acoustic guitar as the pair traded verses.
Pearl Jam acknowledges
On Monday, May 26, Pearl Jam took to Instagram and dropped a post that featured the “Last Kiss” artist hugging Cooper behind a copy of the set list, which featured the collaboration between the pair.
“Cheers, @bottlerocknapa! 🍷🌅,” the caption read.
It is no secret that to the public’s knowledge, Cooper and Vedder have been friends since the making of the film. The actor had shadowed him for a few days in Vedder’s Seattle hometown to help with developing the character of Maine. In a 2018 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Cooper divulged that the “Just Breathe” musician was the inspiration for his A Star Is Born alter-ego.
“I went up to Seattle and spent four or five days with him and I asked him 9,000 questions,” the actor/director told the outlet. “And he gave me minor, little things that only musicians know about what to do, just aesthetically and the inner workings.”
However, Vedder was initially skeptical of Cooper’s decision to sing on-screen.
“He was like, ‘What? Bro, don’t do that,’ ” he recalled.
Eventually, the rocker passed along notes for the songs in the movie.
“He was wonderful,” Cooper said.
On Saturday, May 25, the actor from Silver Linings Playbook took charge of the grill to make his famous Philly cheesesteaks, which were approved by Gigi Hadid! The 29-year-old supermodel, who has been romantically linked to Cooper since October 2023, was seen enjoying the local dish on the second day of the Napa Valley music festival.
