The fans of The Who were surprised by the unexpected participation of Eddie Vedder during a benefit show that the band performed on Wednesday night (20) at the Royal Albert Hall, in London.

After being introduced by the vocalist and guitarist Roger Daltrey as “a straight guy”, Vedder took the stage to sing “The Punk and the Godfather”, a track from the acclaimed album Quadrophenia (1973), one of the most famous rock operas of all time.
