Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam, Candlebox, Hovercraft): Ten, Yellow Ledbetter, sobriety, and the long road back to music
“Royalties started coming in, and it scared me. I could either fund my addiction—or change my life.”
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen joins The Aftershow to talk about the whirlwind behind recording Ten, the unexpected life of Yellow Ledbetter, and the personal battles that pulled him off the road—and ultimately brought him back. Dave opens up about the phone-book audition that changed his life, the pressure and promise of the Seattle scene, getting sober amid overnight success, and the serendipitous path through Hovercraft and Candlebox. We also get into vault tracks, Hall of Fame night, arm surgeries that nearly ended it all, why he still isn’t ready to “hang it up,” and the new music and gigs on his horizon. Honest, reflective, and full of deep-cut stories fans will love.
