VEDDER FEARS FOR HIS LASHES

PEARL JAM star EDDIE VEDDER feared he'd lost his eyelashes for his art when he agreed to shave them off for the group's new video - and they struggled to grow back.

The rocker had his lashes plucked for a life cast of his head, which appears in eerie new promo LIFE WASTED, directed by multi-media artist FERNANDO APODACA.

But weeks after the video was shot in April (06), Vedder is still growing his lashes.

He says, "The medical journals say they'll be back eventually."

The video is a long time coming for Pearl Jam fans because the group has refused to shoot promos for the best part of a decade after feeling uncomfortable when the film shot to accompany 1992 hit JEREMY won MTV Video Of The Year honours.

Vedder explains, "We were coming from a standpoint like the Native American Indians, who thought if they took your picture, part of your soul got sucked out of you."
