Jill McCormick
Jill McCormick is the second and current wife of grunge music icon, Eddie Vedder –best known for his baritone voice as the front man of legendary band Pearl Jam.
Jill’s hubby was born Edward Louis Severson on December 23, 1964. The Illinois native, also a guitarist, hit the big time in the early ’90s with Pearl Jam.
Vedder, who had a rough childhood at home became interested in rock music and formed his first band, Bad Radio in his early 20’s.
Traveling between Chicago and San Diego –where he worked as a security guard to support his music –Vedder later sent a demo to Seattle which resulted in the formation of Pearl Jam, originally called Mookie Blaylock.
Their debut, Ten, followed in the fall of 1991. With the Seattle scene (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, et al.) exploding on the charts, airwaves, and media, Pearl Jam picked the perfect time to issue their debut, which eventually outsold all other Seattle bands, and made Pearl Jam one of the biggest groups of the ’90s.
Vedder has been ranked #7 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s Best Lead Singers of All Time list and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pearl Jam earlier this year.
Vedder who is also known for many of his liberal views on sociopolitical issues, has been married a total of two times.
Vedder was first married to Beth Liebling in 1994. Beth is also a musician known for the Seattle-based experimental instrumental group Hovercraft. The couple divorced in 2000, after six years of marriage. They had been in a long term relationship since 1983.
