Post Malone has covered Pearl Jam’s Better Man on The Howard Stern Show.
Following the interview segment of his appearance going live yesterday (in which he revealed he got permission from Frances Bean Cobain before doing his amazing 2020 Nirvana livestream), Post's performance has just gone online – and it includes an emotional cover of Pearl Jam’s beloved 1994 Vitalogy track Better Man.
Before the cover, the musician explains why he picked Better Man in particular: “I remember my brother Jordan, he was a Marine, and he was stationed in Hawaii. And we went to go see him. I was 12, 13, maybe. And he played this song, and we were driving around. This was on an island you could drive around in a couple of hours. And he played it, and I guess I’ve just been thinking about that a lot lately.”
Post adds that his brother “introduced me to Pearl Jam in a big fucking way”, and this song “makes me fucking cry”.
