Pearl Jam released a cover of Brandi Carlile’s “Again Today” in April, and Eddie Vedder is now performing his own version on his solo European tour. In what many fans took as a reference to Chris Cornell, Vedder changed the lyric ‘I’m sad to say I miss my friends’ to ‘I know that I’m gonna miss my friend’ during a performance in Belgium on Monday.
