After Bradley Cooper famously channeled Eddie Vedder for his portrayal of Jackson Maine in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born, Cooper got to live out his dream and sing with Pearl Jam on Saturday night. During the grunge band’s headlining set at BottleRock Napa Valley, Vedder said this as he introduced the night’s special guest. “There was an absolutely beautiful film a few years ago about a singer/songwriter named Jackson Maine. In the end of the film, he passes away, and it’s brutal and very powerful and very moving. But tonight is a very special occasion, because he is coming back to life. Please, would you join me in welcoming to the stage, my great pal Bradley Cooper.” Vedder and Cooper dueted on “Maybe It’s Time,” from the movie’s Grammy-winning soundtrack, with Bradley rejoining PJ for their set closer, “Rockin’ in the Free World.” (Billboard)
