Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp, and Patti Smith rocked for justice Saturday night in Little Rock, Arkansas. Watch video below.
The trio performed at the capital city’s Robinson Hall for a rally to support the West Memphis 3, three then-teenagers who were convicted of murdering three children in Arkansas in 1993, despite evidence, including recent DNA tests, that point to other suspects. (Two of the West Memphis 3 were sentenced to life in prison, another to death. Legal proceedings are ongoing).
The Pearl Jam frontman and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, both on acoustic guitar, joined Smith onstage for ‘Dancing Barefoot,‘ a ballad from her 1979 album Wave.
“I’m here to show my support for the West Memphis 3,” Vedder said. “And to try to raise the visibility of the case at this crucial time … Why are they innocent? Because there’s nothing that says they’re guilty.“В В
