Eddie Vedder recently shared a “terrifying” horseback riding experience with Bruce Springsteen during an interview on The Howard Stern Show. Despite his fear of horses, Vedder tried to stay composed but ended up veering off the trail into a forest, struggling to control the horse amid confusing commands. The horse behaved oddly, but Vedder managed to avoid injury, earning Springsteen’s praise for his horsemanship.

In other news, Vedder is promoting his Netflix documentary, Matter of Time, about the race to cure the rare genetic disorder epidermolysis bullosa. Meanwhile, Pearl Jam is entering a new chapter following the departure of longtime drummer Matt Cameron after 27 years. Vedder expressed excitement about the band’s future, emphasizing their readiness to embrace change while continuing to honor their legacy.
