‘Greetings from Asbury Park!’

Oh wait, wrong musician. It wasn’t Bruce this time making a surprise appearance in the Garden State.

Let’s try this again. How about this? ’No way!’

Eddie Vedder, the 61-year-old lead singer of the rock band Pearl Jam, was just spotted at a staple of Asbury Park.

No, not the Stone Pony. Nor was it the Wonder Bar like you would probably think. Vedder was seen having a moment of fun at the Silverball Museum.

Eddie Vedder spotted at the Silverball Retro Arcade in Asbury Park

“Just another summer day in Asbury Park... until Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam stopped in to play a few games,” the arcade’s staff posted on their Facebook page.

While people in the comments were wondering which games he played, we don’t have answers yet. I’d like to think he played the ‘Wizard of Oz’ themed pinball machine so I can say that I have played the same game as the singer of “Jeremy.”

“One of the things we love most about this town — you never know who's going to walk through the door.”

Silverball features hundreds of classic pinball machines and vintage arcade games, so if you’ve never made the trip and you want to enjoy the fun and nostalgia, it’s definitely worth the trip.

Maybe you’ll run into a celebrity yourself! Visit the Silverball Museum at 1000 Ocean Ave in Asbury Park.
