Eddie Vedder filled in on lead vocals when The Doors performed at the 1993 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony.
The Doors were inducted in 1993, more than two decades after Morrison’s death. Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore reunited for the ceremony and performed “Roadhouse Blues,” “Break On Through (To the Other Side),” and “Light My Fire.”
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder handled the lead-vocal role for those performances. Don Was played bass, filling out the reunited lineup while the three surviving Doors members played their original instruments.
The other choices are associated with later Doors-related projects or different performances. Perry Farrell, Scott Weiland, and Ian Astbury each had connections to the broader alternative-rock scene or Doors tribute activity, but none was the vocalist at this specific 1993 induction performance. The appearance was a one-night reunion rather than a permanent continuation of the original band.
