Eddie Vedder on Andrew Watt being named the producer:
“We’ll make a record with Andrew, I believe. We’re already talked about it. You know, the pandemic came right we were leaving for a tour on the Gigaton record,” Eddie said,“We had a lot of shows planned. Two-thirds of those shows were put on sale, even. So one thing we’ll be doing in 2022 in making good on promises to play those shows. Then, in between, I think we’ll be recording, because now we’ve got a strong, healthy ambition to do so.”
Eddie also added that Pearl Jam will play a lot for a year or two given that pandemic permits them to perform. They will then slow down a bit and focus on recording their new studio album which will mark their twelfth of their career.
