Veteran musicians Neil Young and Eddie Vedder have made statements in defense of Bruce Springsteen who has publicly denounced the Trump administration’s authoritarianism and was the subject of an incoherent tirade by the president.

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder made an apparent dig at Donald Trump after the president criticized fellow musician Bruce Springsteen.

Eddie Vedder paid tribute to Bruce Springsteen during Pearl Jam's concert in Pittsburgh on Friday night (May 17), performing a solo acoustic rendition of "My City of Ruins" in what appeared to be a quiet but powerful response to Donald Trump's recent public criticism of Springsteen.
