Eddie Vedder is being sued by a songwriter, for changing his lyrics.Canadian Gordon Peterson says that when the Pearl Jam frontman recorded a version of his song Hard Sun for the soundtrack of the 2007 film Into The Wild, he ‘altered certain key lyrics…eroding the integrity of the composition’.
Peterson, who also named Universal Music in the suit, insists the song was licensed without his permission, and wants all profits from the recording.
Vedder’s lawyer has dismissed the claim as unfounded.
