Overview
EDDIE VEDDER has revealed how he used to hide from his fame in his laundry.
The Pearl Jam frontman said he became so overwhelmed by fame in the 1990s, that he "completely retreated into himself".
The 44-year-old singer told the Guardian: "I was almost overwhelmed by it all. I had this house - not a giant house, but three or four nice rooms, and a jukebox.
"And it had this laundry room, and I would sit in there with an ashtray that I trusted. It was like the world couldn't get me in the laundry room.
"One of the reasons you're protecting yourself is because you've been forthcoming with your emotions. So you have to build a wall. And now people are driving into the wall. That's what f***s with your head. I felt like my brain was a w***e and I was getting mindf****d."
