Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder Live in Port Elizabeth

By

Eddie Vedder performs “Here Comes The Sun” during his visit to Walmer High School, Port Elizabeth, South Africa on 5 December 2018.

Eddie Vedder recorded some songs with learners from Walmer Township back in 2004 in Seattle. On 5 December he visited the learners in Walmer High School’s library which is run by Masifunde Learner Development. Some learners from the Masifunde youth choir were chosen to perform some songs. Eddie came with his wife and two children. He sang “Here comes the sun” (Lavel’ilanga) on his Ukulele and he planted a tree. Eddie and his wife were emotional to see the living conditions in Walmer and to meet the learners again after 14 years.
