Pearl Jam were joined by Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman at Wrigley Field on Saturday night, giving frontman Eddie Vedder a ukulele prior to his encore performance, COS reported on Sunday.
Rodman, who is also an unofficial ambassador to North Korea, briefly took the microphone to express his admiration for the Windy City, saying, “There are two groups of people who have always supported me - North Korea and Chicago.”
The former basketball star continued with a promise to the Windy City, saying that when he died, he'd "make sure" to be buried in Chicago, according to TMZ.
Vedder took the stage back from Rodman soon after that and joked that he hoped that day would be as far away as possible, according to Fox News.
Rodman is a devout fan of Pearl Jam and has appeared at several of their concerts over the years, COS reported.
