Watch Eddie Vedder play Pearl Jam's (and The Last Of Us Part II's) Future Days at The Game Awards.
Eddie Vedder performed a gorgeous rendition of Pearl Jam's Future Days at last night's livestreamed Game Awards (December 10).
The track is known to videogame fans as The Last Of Us Part II's Ellie and Joel's emotional goodbye theme, with the awards appropriately tweeting to gamers after Eddie's performance of 2013 album Lightning Bolt's closing track: "How are we holding up?"

Despite postponing touring plans due to the coronavirus pandemic this year, Pearl Jam fans have still been able to enjoy numerous online performances by EdVed in 2020. As well as The Game Awards appearance, the frontman unveiled two beautiful new tracks as part of last month's Venture Into Cures benefit, and performed the stunning River Cross for the One World: Together At Home COVID fundraiser. The Seattle legends also uploaded their iconic 1992 MTV Unplugged set on YouTube for the first time ever. Plenty of PJ goodness all round, then.
