Publisher's Synopsis
Exploding onto the world stage in 1991 with their astounding, multi-platinum debut, Ten, Pearl Jam courted controversy and conflict from the start. The pressures of fame soon began to take their toll, on the fragile Vedder in particular. Martin Clarke brings the band s tumultuous history to life from their beginnings amidst Seattle s grunge underground, through the excesses of superstardom, to their current incarnation as mature rock heavyweights.
