Yungblud hints at Eddie Vedder collaboration

Yungblud has hinted he could soon collaborate with Eddie Vedder.

The 28-year-old singer – whose real name is Dominic Harrison – looks set to write music with the Pearl Jam frontman soon.

The Abyss hitmaker told Rolling Stone: “Eddie’s such an inspiration to me, especially vocally:

“I think we might write together in the future.”

Last month, Yungblud was pictured alongside Eddie and several other stars, including Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, singer Bruno Mars, and singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile at New York’s Capitol Theatre.

The quartet were in town to play alongside guitar icon Slash at his star-studded private show for holding company Eldridge Industries.

Duff McKagan, Chad Smith and Andrew Watt were also part of the core line-up on the night, alongside Slash, and they performed as The Dirty Bats.

News of Yungblud’s potential collaboration with Vedder comes just days after he teamed up with The Smashing Pumpkins on a reworked version of fan-favourite Zombie earlier this month.

The new, heavier version of the single, from the rocker’s album Idols, was accompanied by a music video.

The project highlights Yungblud’s long‑standing connection to the band’s catalogue.

In a recent Loudwire interview, he said the Pumpkins’ 1993 album Siamese Dream was a major reference point while he was developing Zombie.

He explained: “When I was making ‘Zombie,’ I was really channeling Siamese Dream.

“It was really the sadness and the melancholic emotion mixed with the aggression of Billy’s guitars. Billy, as a songwriter, was really at the forefront of my inspiration when I was making this album. When Zombie came along, I knew I wanted to do a new version of it.

“I called Billy and I was like, ‘Billy, please help me scratch this itch. I want this record to dig in harder.’ There still needs to be an almost Jekyll and Hyde element, there needs to be the version that’s full of light and full of life and optimism, but then there needs to be this dark version that is pessimistic and a little bit bitter and a bit aggressive.”
