Happy birthday to Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who turns 56 today.

Vedder was born Dec. 23rd, 1964 in the Chicago suburbs, which explains his lifelong Cubs fandom. He later moved to San Diego, where at age 26 he was discovered by members of the band Mother Love Bone and joined what would eventually become Pearl Jam.

This year, Vedder has been keeping busy by taking part in just about every charity livestream you can think of – including streams for VetsAid and TeachRock just in the last month.
