Eddie Vedder adopts strict diet to detox

London, Oct 26 (IANS) Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of rock band Pearl Jam, has adopted a strict diet and detox regime after wrapping up his latest tour.

Vedder is giving up cigarettes and drinking a lot of salt water to flush the toxins out of his body that he might have consumed while touring, contactmusic.com reports.

He said: 'It's been a long couple of years ... being on the road a lot. I'm ready to clean up my act. I just finished touring, and I'm on a detox thing. It's a heavy detox, so nothing in my belly except water, salt and cayenne pepper. It also means I'm not smoking.'

But he added that the detox was having a strange effect on him.

'This is four days in. But it does feel weird. I'm feeling different. I'm walking around in a daze,' Vedder said.
