Pearl Jam hiatus statement lost in translation

Last night Eddie Vedder announced to fans while performing in Portugal that this would be the bands last live performance for a long time. Vedder is reported as saying, in Portuguese, “Thank you for coming to our last show. Not our last ever, but our last in a long time.”

This statement naturally kick started the fuel that Pearl Jam were going on hiatus but Seattle Weekly were quick to kill the rumours after emailing the bands publicist, Nicole Vandenberg, who said “He says that at the end of all tours, because the tour has ended. The remark may have gotten a little lost in translation.”
