Eddie Vedder is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter known mostly for being the frontman of the rock and roll band Pearl Jam. In 1993, Vedder met his lifelong musical inspiration Neil Young at a Bob Dylan concert where the two became fast friends. Months later at the MTV Video Music Awards, Young joined Vedder and the rest of Pearl Jam onstage and they performed a rocked-out version of Young’s “Rocking in the Free World.” But their relationship didn’t stop there. In 1995, Vedder inducted Young into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have played together onstage a few times ever since.
