'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******!'

'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.

Vedder went on to check if the woman who'd he thought was being manhandled was okay.

He then gave a shout-out to a male friend who was with her, saying:  'That’s a good man, taking care of your woman, and then she was taking care of herself too pretty good it looked like she was ready…'

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.
