Pearl Jam is back on the road after illness forced the cancellation of a trio of concerts. Eddie Vedder said the experience left him deeply frightened.
"Can I just say that the last week, it almost felt like a near-death experience," Vedder said from on stage in Barcelona. "It was very uncomfortable, and it got frightening. It felt like chest bronchitis. It felt like maybe you couldn't breathe, and maybe you wouldn't make it through the night, and maybe you'd have to go to the hospital."
