Présentation de l'éditeur

Revised and updated

In this major biography Martin Clarke investigates one of the most popular and influential bands of our time and paints a detailed portrait of its enigmatic leader, Eddie Vedder.

Pearl Jam exploded onto the world stage in 1991, captivating a generation with their inspirational live shows and being hailed as the 'kings of grunge'. Their first album, Ten, went multi-platinum and won four MTV awards.

Yet this massive popularity brought problems. In a rivalry fanned by the media, Kurt Cobain condemned Pearl Jam's popularisation of grunge, calling them a 'corporate' group. He later apologised, but the remark damaged the band's reputation. They won it back with multi-million sales and critical acclaim. Vs. became the fastest-selling American album of all time (a record it held for five years) and its follow-up, Vitalogy, was equally successful. By this stage, however, the pressures of fame on the band, and on the fragile Vedder in particular, began to take their toll.

In Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder: None Too Fragile, Martin Clarke brings to life the band's tumultuous history: from their beginnings amidst Seattle's grunge underground, through the excesses and pressures of superstardom, to their current incarnation as mature rock heavyweights.
