Eddie Vedder To Release Vinyl Single With Cubs Tickets

CHICAGO, IL — Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder's new 7-inch vinyl single will be handed out to people who buy tickets to the July 6 Cubs-Reds game at Wrigley Field. The record features Vedder's Cubs tribute "All the Way," that he wrote in 2007. The flip side of the record includes fan Steve Goodman's 1984 tribute "Go Cubs, Go."

Vedder has been a lifelong, outspoken Cubs fan who was known to attend a number of games during the team's historic World Series-winning 2016 season. He led the Cubs' Game 5 home crowd in the seventh-inning stretch sing-along to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."

Last year Pearl Jam released the documentary "Let's Play Two," that chronicled the band's two performances on Aug. 20-22, 2016, at Wrigley Field.

"Pearl Jam has forged a relationship with the city, the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field that is unparalleled in the world of sports and music," the band's website reads.

One record will be given out with each ticket purchased.
