Yungblud recently hinted at a potential collaboration with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. He shared his admiration for the legendary vocalist in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
The British artist expressed his deep respect for Vedder’s vocal abilities. He revealed the possibility of future creative work together.
“Eddie [Vedder] is such an inspiration to me, especially vocally,” Yungblud said. “I think we might write together in the future.”
The musician also addressed criticism he faces from some quarters. He showed a remarkably positive attitude toward negative feedback.
“A lot of people have a lot to say about me,” he continued. “But I think that’s what I’m here for. It doesn’t get me down. I think it’s fun. I love reading the comments about me. It’s just fuel.”
This potential collaboration would mark another high-profile partnership for Yungblud. He has been building an impressive roster of collaborations with established rock legends throughout his career.
The 26-year-old artist has been particularly active in forging partnerships with iconic musicians from previous generations. AOL reported that his most recent partnership came at the start of 2026 when he teamed up with The Smashing Pumpkins to re-release “Zombie.” The collaboration brought new life to his Grammy-nominated single. Billy Corgan embraced the opportunity to reimagine the track.
Yungblud’s collaborative approach extends beyond individual songs to full projects. The Rock Revival noted that he recently released a full five-song EP with Aerosmith called “One More Time.” The EP includes the lead single “My Only Angel” and a new version of the Aerosmith classic “Back in the Saddle.”
The speed at which these collaborations come together reflects Yungblud’s reputation in the industry. Loudwire revealed that when Billy Corgan heard about the “Zombie” collaboration opportunity, he “loved it and jumped at the opportunity to reimagine the song with Yungblud.” The entire project was completed within about 10 days.
A potential collaboration with Eddie Vedder would represent a significant milestone in Yungblud’s career. It would connect him directly to one of grunge’s most influential voices. Yungblud continues to bridge generational gaps in rock music. His ability to attract collaborations from legendary artists demonstrates his growing influence in the genre.
