Pearl Jam release uncensored version of 'Jeremy' - “we can prevent gun deaths"

In recognition of National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Pearl Jam released the uncensored version of their 1992 video for 'Jeremy', one of their most chilling and affecting, and popular songs, based on the real-life suicide of high school student Jeremy Wade Delle, who shot himself in front of his classmates in January 1991. The uncensored version includes the haunting final scene with Jeremy putting a gun in his mouth. “The increase in gun violence since the debut of ‘Jeremy’ is staggering” Pearl Jam wrote in an accompanying social media post, adding - “We can prevent gun deaths whether mass shootings, deaths of despair, law enforcement, or accidental,” the band added".
