Well played Pearl Jam... well played.
Just read an article that made me go "awwww"... not many bands these days would do this sort of thing, glad to hear it actually does happen.
Here is the story:
Back in the year 1992, Pearl Jam gave a 17 year old fan named Josh a signed Fender guitar while he was dying of brain cancer. Josh lost his battle a few years after, and the guitar went to his brother. Fast forward 20 years.... the guitar was stolen from his brothers house. After explaining the incident to a local news outlet, the band got wind of the story.
A week or so ago... the band shipped the brother named Ben a package. It was a brand new guitar complete with all the band members signatures. The family has said.
"Its an amazing gesture of goodwill. It exceeds all expectations... they went above and beyond. Its a blessing for our family to have all this happen. This is our Christmas story. Pearl Jam is amazing and to think that they remembered Josh after all these years is incredible".
Pretty incredible indeed. I'm always happy to hear these types of stories especially from a band that has made it so big. Bravo. Bravo.
