Extreme heat in Europe has caused famed rock band Pearl Jam to cancel its concert in Vienna on Wednesday night.

The band told fans on Instagram that lead singer Eddie Vedder's throat was "damaged" at his last show outside Paris due to heat, dust and smoke from nearby fires.

"To all those who were anticipating a great Pearl Jam show tonight in Vienna, we were too. However, due to the extreme circumstances at the last outdoor site outside of Paris (heat, dust, and smoke from the fires) our singer Ed Vedder's throat was left damaged," the statement said. "He has seen doctors and had treatment but as of yet, his vocal cords have not recovered."
