Pearl Jam have announced the cancellation of their London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gig, citing illness within the band as the reason.
The iconic rock band were supposed to take over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow (June 29). Eddie Vedder and co took to their official Instagram account to share a statement explaining why they will no longer be able to go on with their scheduled performance.
“The Pearl Jam concert scheduled for Saturday, June 29 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has regrettably been cancelled due to illness in the band,” began their statement shared on the band’s socials.
“This decision was the last thing we wanted to have to make, especially as we know so many of you made travel plans based on the tour schedule. There was simply no other option based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage.
“We couldn’t be more disappointed to not play one of our favourite cities this tour. Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time due to existing schedule commitments.”
They ended with: “We are deeply grateful for your support and sincerely apologise to the incredible Pearl Jam community for the inconvenience and disappointment. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”
Pearl Jam previously took over Manchester’s CO-OP Arena on Tuesday (June 25) and according to The Guardian saw Vedder struggle with his voice due to being ill.
Previously speaking to NME about the two London shows the band had slated at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, guitarist Stone Gossard shared: “We’ll probably try to sprinkle in some new stuff every night, and we’re playing some of the hits as well. It’s a good show. The band’s playing pretty well right now. Everyone’s in good spirits.”
He also asked if the band would ever be down to play at Glastonbury and responded with: “I don’t know the answer to that question. I know that we’ve never played before. I think maybe there was an offer a long time ago, but I don’t know that for sure. My impression of it is it’s been a very impactful festival for England in particular. I know that there’s been some amazing breakout performances there. But I haven’t kept up with it that much. Dua Lipa, right?”
In other news, Vedder recently contributed his cover of ‘Save It For Later’ by The Beat (or The English Beat) to season three of The Bear.

Ice Spice is an artist who blew up very fast. Overall, this was thanks to her song "Munch" which launched during the Fall of 2022. However, when you become a massive artist in a short amount of time, there can be some growing pains. Luckily, Spice had a strong debut EP. Moreover, she got co-signs and features from the likes of Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. As for the rollout to her new album Y2K, there have been a few missteps.
Songs like "Gimme A Light" and "Think U The Shit (Fart)" have not been the hits fans were hoping for. Moreover, her album art from David LaChapelle left a lot to be desired. However, it seems as though her fortunes might be changing. This is all thanks to the new song "Phat Butt" which is meant to be the intro track on Y2K. Ice Spice is giving us a new sound on the track, and it has been getting quite a bit of praise. Although, some believe this might be because of the song's similarities to Nicki Minaj.
"Definitely chewing on “Chi-Raq” flow with some “Shanghai” realness and I can’t even be mad. This sounds good," one fan wrote. "why we hating on spice when she is constantly giving nicki her flowers and blatantly showing that nicki is her inspiration is beyond me.. she literally had a princess chain, she embraced the title yet yall wanna hate so bad no matter what she do," said another. Many of the commenters were making references to "Chi-Raq," a song that Nicki did with G-Herbo. Ultimately, this Nicki inspiration seems to have breathed new life into Spice's sound. Hopefully, she continues to experiment.
Let us know what you thought of the new Ice Spice track, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this was one of the best songs from Spice's rollout so far?
