Eddie Vedder’s Late Father Appears On New Solo Album
Eddie Vedder recently shared the tracklist for his upcoming solo record “Earthlings,” and now he’s revealed that it features some very special guests. The album includes guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Ringo Starr, as well as Eddie’s late father.
Eddie tells “Mojo” magazine he got recordings of his father’s voice after meeting ex-Chicago Cub, Carmen Fanzone. He later went to see Carmen play trumpet at a club in Arizona and a guy on the keyboards had been friends with Eddie’s father. The man eventually sent him a disc with Ed’s dad singing on it.
“I carried that disc around for two, three months in my suitcase, not ready to hear it,” Eddie shares. “Finally, I got the guts, and after a couple of bottles of wine played it one night in Argentina. And he was good. It was incredible – like he left a message for me.” He and his producer, Andrew Watt, then put together “a little collage” around the voice, which appears at the end of the album.
- Eddie adds “I thought of the record like a setlist – by the end, that’s when you start bringing out special guests,” noting, “We had Stevie and Elton, Ringo was an incredible addition… and then my pop gets to be on a record with those guys, which is not too shabby.”
Eddie Vedder’s “Earthlings” drops on February 11th.
- ONE MORE THING! Eddie just released another track from "Earthlings," "Brother the Cloud."

Korn Release New Single
Korn has dropped their new single, "Forgotten." It's a new track from their new album, "Requiem," which will drop on February 4, as we previously told you. “Requiem” is the follow-up to 2019’s “The Nothing.”
Korn's website made it seem like it was teasing new songs from the album. It was then thought that the song was titled, "Now." But at the same time, other instrumental tracks from "Forgotten" did appear elsewhere on the web. The song is melodic, with fuzzy guitar hooks that are aligned with the band's expressive aesthetic.
