I felt a great disturbance, as if millions of people cried out "I thought Pearl Jam was dead" and then were silent. https://t.co/gXlrAajB0b

It’s Pearl Jam’s turn to pull out:
It's with deep consideration & much regret that we must cancel the Raleigh, NC show on 4/20: https://t.co/Z7I65UJmhP pic.twitter.com/P89wysiNFe

Way to stick it to those North Carolina lawmakers! Oh, wait.
@PearlJam doesn't it hurt the wrong people?

@PearlJam I understand bringing attention, but this punishes the wrong people. Inspire change by bringing like-minded people together.

@PearlJam the people (@PatMcCroryNC ) who could change this don't care. Thanks for hurting the people that do @tcmann0 @ethans955

@PearlJam that's bullshit, your fans have zero to do with it. Cancel 2 days before? Fucked up
— JQ (@SmartyJ15) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam Severely disappointed in your timing on this. Canceling 48 hrs out is a disservice to your fans.
— Jason Hall (@JHall636) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam Total Bullshit! Made a choice for this show over others and now get nothing. Why not do show and donates proceeds? #FUCK
— Ryan Beach (@RangerBeach) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam your cancelled show only hurts the fans and innocent folks who did zero wrong. This does not hurt govt. put on th show!
— Mojorisin' (@DharmaBuum) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam Deep regret would have been canceling it in March. Instead it's hurting fans who spent more than just tickets to get there.
— Renee York (@ReneeYork79) April 18, 2016
@watchitgotofire @PearlJam how is this right? What does it solve? Only hurts the fans. The right thing to do is donate the proceeds
— Chris (@ChrisChrispj09) April 18, 2016
@PJ_ROCKS 2 days out. Total dick move @PearlJam @metalfabgirl
— Abel (@Steam_Boatwilly) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam fav band forever til this. Punishing fans whose fault this is not
— Denise Lakey (@deniselakey2) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam I'm so glad you have hurt all the NC fans you have in an attempt to hurt the people who could care less if you cancel. Thanks
— George Morris (@g_f_morris17) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam DICK MOVE!!! right before the show!! You're definitely doing it the wrong way!!!!
— LeDonna (@metalfabgirl) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam We needed you. You couldn't donate & have a big political rant on stage? No, it's better to break the fans hearts I guess. BS.
— neptunianblues (@neptunianblues) April 18, 2016
.@PearlJam basically pulled a @Springsteen: Waited til 2 days before show to cancel, meaning ppl traveling are out $$. #ncpol #ncga #hb2
— Sister Toldjah ツ (@sistertoldjah) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam I understand making a stand and I really am behind that part. But 2 days before the show is beyond shitty. You have fucked up. Sry
— Heather (@haswain) April 18, 2016
@PearlJam Now? After all this time? You have lost a fan. Costing me $$ in flight and hotel
— Elaine Morris (@jemorcats) April 18, 2016
Smooth move, Pearl Jam. Real smooth.
@ReidDA @PearlJam Pearl Jam is denying their normal services to a specific group as well (the people who bought tickets to the concert)
