Eddie Vedder Cries after Tribute to Chris Cornell Black In Half Step Down

[@Dragonflame2468]

I don't normally get upset about celebrity deaths but..Chris Cornell hit me hard. I've looked up to him for most of my life. Rest in peace and thank you for all of the beautiful music.

[@chriscompean]

DeepyDishy Same here. It’s so unreal. It hit me so hard.

[@inchaoswetrust]

Wholeheartedly agreed

[@reginagarcia7492]

Same. Still hurt

[@camilapereira8120]

For me was That Bad With Chesters dead💔

[@ninajarzynska9362]

I think of Chris as if he was a kinda of my elderly brother.

[@Vicious_kitty1]

I’m here in 2024 and still crying about this. RIP Chris. The great rockers of the 90s will never be forgotten. I wish I could’ve seen them live.

[@caneface87]

It’s hard being a child of the 90s seeing the great ones leave us RIP

[@dinab7852]

AMEN!

[@VIVIENDOENTEJAS1]

I'm just glad I was blessed to hear their voices on our local alternative radio station Grunge was one of the genre's that was one hell of a group of individuals who knew how to make music and connect with their audience when playing live. The 90's will live on forever!!!

[@caneface87]

LOSERS*SAY*WHAT I love this!

[@tommyvuitton1632]

Eddie and Chris and Layne are the great vocalists of my life... Its sad i witnessed 2 leaving... Plus Prince... My Lord this has got to be the Endtimes...

[@amexemoor443]

Imagine being a child of the 70s...sheesh!

[@jacksonharvey1225]

Cornell was one of the first artists to get Eddie out of his shell when he came onto the Seattle scene. without Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam wouldn’t exist. Without Chris, Eddie wouldn’t be Eddie. RIP

[@michaeljoseph7160]

Well said.

[@hardylover]

Yes! For a while Chris was Eddie’s only friend.

[@MasaCheez]

Same here man. It just crushed me. I'm here on his birthday watching vids and sobbing. I'm a fully grown man but damnit this shit hits me.

[@chrissimpson6701]

Your right, which is why it was really weird that Ed didn't say or mention Chris at all not even one time at the Rock N Roll Induction. That next mont, Chris I believe was murdered.

[@Sperg10]

I get what you're saying, and I agree, but to an extent. It's unfair to discredit all the work that PJ did to get to where they're at and give all the credit to Cornell.

[@margotmacewen]

This is quite possibly Pearl Jam’s darkest, deepest, most emotionally charged songs. And then to see it performed in this tragic context… Just no words.

[@FreaxInTha715]

So much pain in Eddie's voice. What an emotional tribute to his dear friend.

[@John-uo2lb]

Full blown sobbing. Haven’t been able to watch this until 2021. He was just on Howard Stern talking about how he still hasn’t processed the grief 😩

[@Bella_X]

There are quite a few of us who haven’t, not all the way through at least and some of us may never be okay with Chris being gone. :(

[@drunkeroc]

I listen. To chris daily and I am scared for myself

[@mariececile3973]

​@@drunkeroc Take care my friend. Don' t let your love for Chris push you to hurt yourself.

[@tommyvuitton1632]

I cried when Chris Cornell died... Such a gentile soul with an amazing voice... God only knows. Say hello to heaven...

[@chrissimpson6701]

Murdered.

[@justinhawsakajaybird]

I did too...more than once. So many song resonate deep. "someone could relate"....then gone. 90s baby 😢

[@JasonSteel-hk2tx]

As men, we’re basically shunned for crying. So seeing a grown man cry, it’s really comforting. Just reminiscing over Chris Cornell. RIP.

[@renatenye3926]

Losing Chris then Chester, I was heartbroken. They both saved me from the very thing that killed them. Suicide is worse than murder. It leaves everyone in a state of insanity. No one will ever know the true reason why. I can only pray that God lay them both into the choir. Love and prayers to the Cornell and Bennington families. Your fathers and husbands and sons were true life savers.

[@Scot-t]

I come back to this now and again. When petty and shallow people stress me down, it comforts me in some way to be reminded of this pain because it grows from love, something pure. Chris you are still missed and loved. Rest In Peace brother, see you someday

[@NotIfWhen]

I do too I thinks it’s just nice to see and feel genuine human emotion. I don’t know how old you are but I grew up on this music. These great men. It was a different time. You didn’t need the picture to post for it to really have happened. You lived for the moment. I think that’s what I mourn too. Real emotion.lost in it. Even when it hurts.

[@Scot-t]

ByeByeButti I’m in my early 20s, and my father raised me on classic rock. Some people tell me music like this is still around, nevertheless I wish I was born 30 years earlier.

[@lisaencinias4988]

In 1991 I sewed a soundgarden patch on my black jacket...wore that jacket everyday. I loved Chris Cornell. He will live forever through his music and in his daughter's heart

[@harrysmusicchanel8848]

U can hear eddys struggling here so heartfelt

[@travisfs7526]

His voice has aged like a glass of wine... I remember hearing about Chris’s death in music class just after performing fell on black days... RIP Chris

[@Backgroundcow]

After seeing this video three years ago, I still can’t listen to this song without crying now. I grew up on both Chris and Eddie’s music and this is such a beautiful performance

[@deeplyrooted2998]

Chris, your energy, your being will be forever missed not to mention your loved ones, your family. Seems impossible you are gone as I listen to your music each and every day

[@arlyh1]

Please come back Chris, I cry every time I remember you’ve gone

[@lindakelley2676]

Just wrenches the heart.I still cry watching this and when I watch the Tragically Hip. Its just too much for the heart to bear, they were so loved. The songs live forever.

[@thijsgeurts5003]

i lost a friend today. I know exactly what he's goin thru. Bye my friend. May u live on forever. we'll miss u.

[@KanwarAnand]

That’s the best audience ever. Love you all. Feel you all.

[@kevinjordan807]

Chris Cornell was a beautiful human being. Sad to see him go he was my cousin that I never met. His music was his true passion and it showed

[@ilsecaraffi-tencate7934]

I know.. I am not a fangirl of anyone but Chris just has felt so close, like a brother, and I'd turn to him for wisdom or just a feeling of safety, so often.

[@sarahboller5912]

it's now 6 years ago today since Chris left us ..🖤✌💋

[@draganapasti_]

No words for the moment, deepest emotionality & melancholy towards one of the greatest artists mankind has ever seen. "We belong together", "Come back", you wonderous creature, beautiful Chris Cornell 🌹💔💫

[@ldcardoso2806]

The loss of a dear friend, is one of the most painful things you can ever feel. Not a huge Pearl Jam fan, but watching Vedder getting so emotional like this, after the death of a friend (one more), it's absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@elby6980]

“Come back” 😢

[@clarkswann2788]

Told my mom my wife bought me hardy tickets for my birthday she said that's great you never go to concerts anymore I replied everyone I listened to is dead except Eddie Vedder, Dave grohl and Aaron lewis it really upset her when I put it like that simply for the fact she's 63 and has more bands from her time still alive than I do

[@caponebeats2694]

this says so much

[@natalieps2387]

I always get chills hearing black anyway esp when I've heard the audience in unison singing but this really gets u hard. R.i.p chris such a legend. That line " I know someday you'll have a beautiful a life I know you'll be the sun in somebody else 's sky but why why cant it be mine " literally makes me cry.

[@kenbouck2633]

I too lost my daughter to suicide. Our beloved Kristi was 26 and in a relationship she felt trapped. My heart eternally aches for her. There's such a hole left in the hearts and lives of those who have experienced this. Beautiful tribute!

[@shesaid-q]

Sorry for your loss.

[@dragonlover7196]

i can't leave my mom the same way- or the other people who care. it sucks because i don't really feel like any direction in anything is good really, but eh... i don't want my legacy to be me inflicting trauma on friends and family. they don't deserve it, and i guess if that's what's keeping me around, so be it

"Black" was Chris's favorite Pearl Jam song, this is making me cry like a baby! Eddie's has had so much death of family and friends. Eddie we're so sorry you lost your best friend.

@@franklabellarte5343 another thing. Rock n Roll since the late 70s had a genre that swept up the hearts and minds of huuuuge crowds of teens, punk then post punk then glam rock/ arena rock, grunge, post grunge Alternative rock, then another Brit rock wave, then rap rock, then we had in the mid to late 00s Emo/screamo rock.. and that was it.. there hasn't been a wave of Rock genre in over a decade..
