Eddie Vedder’s Bio (Age)

Eddie Vedder (birth name – Edward Louis SeversonIII) was born on December 23, 1964 in Evanston, Chicago, Illinois. His biological father’s name was Edward Louis Jr. while his mother’s name was Karen Lee Vedder. His parents divorced when he was barely a year old and his mother remarried to a man named Peter Müller. The singer spent his formative years in San Diego and attended San Dieguito High School. However, he dropped out in his senior year and later received his GED in the ’80s. Eddie Vedder fell in love with music as a child. It served as a source of comfort for him during the unshakable loneliness he endured as a child/teen and it was only natural that he aspired to be a musician. After graduating from high school, Vedder worked various odd jobs, while pursuing his music. He also joined several local bands in the San Diego area but failed to achieve a breakthrough.

However, Vedder’s fate changed when he met fellow rocker Jack Irons, who asked him to write the accompanying lyrics for a few songs. Vedder wrote the lyrics and also recorded the vocals. The end result was so amazing that he was approached by two rock musicians who wanted to form a band, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament. This was 1990 and it was the humble beginning of Pearl Jam. The band released their first album, Ten . The album was hugely successful and included hits like Alive, Steady Flow and Jeremy(which won Video of the Year at the 1993 MTV VMAs). The album sold over 13 million copies and was certified 13 times platinum. Since that stunning debut, Pearl Jam has released several other successful albums including Vs, Vitalologie, No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, Pearl Jam, Backspacer and Blitz . The band has also received numerous awards, including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

They began dating in 1993 and tied the knot in Italy in 1994. Their union lasted six years and they divorced in 2000.
