In what has been interpreted as a tribute to Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder has performed a devastatingly emotional rendition of the Pearl Jam ballad, Black.

Vedder was performing at the Firenze Rocks festival in Italy.

“Probably all of us at one time have been through the black,” Vedder he told the crowd before he began.

During his performance, Eddie got so choked up, he was unable to sing a couple of lyrics.

We don’t actually know if it was the Soundgarden frontman was on his mind at the time, but the crowd seemed pretty convinced.

Scroll down for the full clip.

I'm just speechless in front of Eddie Vedder literally bursting into tears while singing Black, clearly dedicated to Chris Cornell.
