Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder made news earlier this year when he made controversial comments regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The frontman clarified his statements on the band’s website following the show, posting a long response based around the lyrics to John Lennon’s “Imagine,” which he then covered at a show in Portugal.

Now, that cover is available for purchase on iTunes to benefit Heartbeat.fm, an organization that uses music to foster peace between Israel and Palestine. Watch a performance of the song from the show below.

As for Pearl Jam, their North American tour kicks off tonight in Cincinnati, OH.
