PEARL JAM - VEDDER ON STRICT POST-TOUR DETOX

VEDDER ON STRICT POST-TOUR DETOX

PEARL JAM rocker EDDIE VEDDER is punishing himself with a strict diet and detox regime to cleanse himself after ending the band's latest tour.
Vedder is quitting cigarettes, drinking just water, and eating just salt and pepper, in a bid to rid his body of all the toxins he picked up during the long road trip that ended in New York in June (08).
During a chat with actor Josh Brolin in November's (08) Interview magazine, Vedder says, "It's been a long couple of years, being on the road a lot. I'm ready to clean up my act. I just finished touring, and I'm on a detox thing. It's a heavy detox, so nothing in my belly except water, salt and cayenne pepper.
"It also means I'm not smoking."
And the detox is having a bizarre effect on his body: "This is four days in. But it does feel weird. I'm feeling different. I'm walking around in a daze."
