'Clear out mister!' Eddie Vedder stops rocking to call out obnoxious fan during Wrigley Field concert
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder literally stopped the show Monday night at Wrigley Field to deal with a male fan who was ticking him off.
The rocker, 51, was performing the song Lukin when, according to EW.com, he suddenly got his bandmates to stop.
Pointing at a man in the audience, he shouted out: 'Hey! Hey, mister, get your finger out of the woman’s face, mother******!'

Hey you! Eddie Vedder halted Pearl Jam's performance part way through the song Lukin to confront a fan who was being physically inappropriate with a woman in the audience
'All the fingers are pointing at you. Clear out, mister,' he went on.
Fans in the pit could be seen raising their hands to applaud the veteran musician's move as security guards found the guy and escorted him out of the arena that's home to the Chicago Cubs.
It's not clear what exactly the fan was doing but it caught Vedder's attention enough to bring everything to a halt.

The incident was caught on video by some of those at the concert.

Fans including actress and Chicago P.D. star Sophia Bush took to social media to praise the rocker's actions.
'This is what a feminist looks like,' wrote the actress alongside a picture of Vedder jumping high above the stage in his trademark move.
'Tonight a rock n' roll hero was a moral hero too. Tonight a man who commands crowds around the world reminded a crowd that violence against women is unacceptable and intolerable,' she added.
Other Twitter users also thanked Vedder for what he did using the hashtags #respect, #empowerwomen and #mindyourmanners.
