Paul McCartney Once Punched Eddie Vedder In The Face

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder reveals in a new interview that he was once accidently punched in the face by Beatles legend Paul McCartney while the two were in a bar in Seattle.

Vedder was interviewed on SiriusXM's new Beatles channel and recalled the incident where McCartney punched him in the face by accident while he telling a story of hitting someone.

The radio network shared a clip from the interview with a photo of Vedder and the quote "I was fortunate enough to be with Paul McCartney in the corner of a hotel bar."

Then came the fateful punch as Vedder explains (via Radio.com), "Paul McCartney just hit me in the face, and it hurt. I think I remember tasting a bit of blood."

"He apologized, quickly" Vedder revealed in laughing manner. "And I remember it hurt for a few days. And, I remember when it went away, when the pain finally subsided and the swelling went down, I kind missed it." Watch the clip here.
