Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger has laid rumors to rest that he has contributed to the upcoming release by Pearl Jam. The confusion came after Einziger posted a photo to Twitter in which he appears alongside his girlfriend, who is a violinist, and Eddie Vedder.
The image was accompanied by a tweet reading: "In the studio with my girl and Eddie Vedder, recording strings for Pearl Jam's new album."
Although some fans and media outlets assumed this meant that Mike was recording on the album, it was, in fact, a reference to his girlfriend. He cleared up the confusion this week, however, with another message:
"Hello information superhighway. I am NOT contributing to @pearljam new album. My girl played on a song and I stopped by the studio to watch," he also added, "So media outlets, please stop announcing that I am playing on @pearljam new album. NOT TRUE."
