Eddie Vedder, the singer and frontman of band Pearl Jam, is looking for the woman who gave him a lift on her brother's bike to his hotel in Amsterdam in 1992. He often thinks back to that moment. "Is the woman who gave me a lift to my hotel in 1992 maybe here tonight?" Vedder asked during the first, sold out, show of his solo European tour in Afas Live Amsterdam on Sunday, AD reports.
After asking this question, Vedder looked expectantly out at the crowd, but all remained silent.

"We are working hard on a new date in Amsterdam and hope to confirm this as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and our sincere apologies for the inconvenience."
