The Police drummer Stewart Copeland joined Eddie Vedder during a concert in Los Angeles to cover The Police's "Message In A Bottle."
Vedder and his all-star band The Earthlings, comprised of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, former RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, bassist Chris Chaney of Jane's Addiction, guitarist/vocalist Glen Hansard of The Swell Season, and producer/guitarist Andrew Watt, are currently on a brief tour of the U.S. in support of Vedder's new solo album, Earthling.
Copeland joined Vedder and The Earthlings at Friday night's, February 25, show at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California.
"Message in a Bottle" was released as the lead single from The Police's second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc in 1979. The song was written by the band's lead singer and bassist Sting. The song is ostensibly a story of a castaway on an island, who sends out a message in a bottle to seek love.
