Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Don Kaye:
PEARL JAM's studio cover of THE WHO's 'Love Reign O'er Me', which was played by a Seattle radio station on Monday night (January 8th), will be paired with a live version of NEIL YOUNG's 'Rockin'In The Free World' on the band's annual holiday fan club single.
According to Billboard.com, the latter song was recorded at a November benefit for Make Poverty History in Australia and features U2's Bono and The Edge. The Who track is set to appear in the upcoming movie Reign Over Me, starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, which opens on March 9th.
Although there will not be a soundtrack album from the movie, 'Love Reign O'er Me' may be released for sale as a digital download.
The holiday single, which goes out to the band's fan club every year and is known for occasionally missing the actual holidays, is expected to arrive "sometime in February". Pearl Jam is also rumored to be touring again this summer, according to Billboard.
