Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed by a drunk driver on August 29th while they were riding their bicycles near their hometown of Salem, New Jersey.

This is a tragedy that has transcended the hockey world. Overall, we have seen all kinds of tributes to the brothers. From politicians to baseball teams to NFL teams, the support has been wide-reaching. In fact, the most recent group to show love to the Gaudreaus is none other than American rock band Pearl Jam.

The group was performing in Philadelphia when frontman Eddie Vedder stopped the show to say some kind words. It was incredibly heartwarming and it just speaks to how much class the band has.

This also speaks to the impact the Gaudreaus had on fans and the world as a whole. They were beloved by many, and their loss is being felt by all walks of life. Their passing is extremely sad and we cannot imagine what those who knew them are going through right now.

Our heart continues to go out to the Gaudreau family during this extremely difficult time. We hope everyone affected is able to get the support they both need and deserve.
