Pearl Jam at 20: The career in quotes
Pearl Jam: A career in quotes

Pearl Jam will celebrate its 20th anniversary this weekend with two shows at one of its favorite concert venues: the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wis.

Blind Melon's original lead singer Shannon Hoon died of a drug overdose in 1995, when he was 28. The band's remaining members struggled for years afterward.
