'We are so sorry': Pearl Jam pauses concert to pay tribute to Laos methanol poisoning victims after Aussie teen's death
Front man Eddie Vedder told the sold out crowd at ENGIE Stadium he was someone with a"sense of travel and adventure", and the"story of the two young girls who's drinks were spiked in Laos" was a"senseless" tragedy. Veddler took a moment and then told fans he did not want his message to be"empty" before calling out to the crowd, “It can’t be empty if there’s 50,000 of us".“We are sending you everything we have got today. We are so sorry," he said.
The teens were sent to separate hospitals in Thailand where Ms Bowles currently remains fighting for her life.
