Pearl Jam shared the uncensored version of his "Jeremy" video for the first time to coincide with National Gun Violence Awareness Day on Friday (June 5).

The Mark Pellington-directed video for the song "Jeremy," which appeared in Pearl Jam's 1991 debut Ten, tells the haunting story of a bullied teenager who ends up shooting himself with a gun in front of his schoolmates.

"The increase in gun violence since 'Jeremy's' debut is staggering. We have released the uncensored version of the video that was not available in 1992 with the television censorship laws," Pearl Jam wrote on Instagram. "We can prevent deaths from firearms, be it mass shootings, deaths from despair, law enforcement or accidental."

"Jeremy" was inspired by the true story of Jeremy Delle, 16, from Dallas, who committed suicide in front of his classmates in 1991 after years of torment. The video won four MTV Video Music Awards in 1993, including Video of the Year.

"I remember feeling chills as I filmed and edited it," Pellington reminded Billboard on the video's 25th anniversary in 2017.

Pearl Jam is also raising awareness of gun violence through the relaunch of his "Elections" t-shirt from the early 1990s, which shows a girl searching for a gun lying among scattered crayons. The back of the original shirt says: "9 out of 10 children prefer crayons to weapons", while the new version says: "10 out of 10 children prefer crayons to weapons".

Proceeds from the purchases will go to the band's Vitalogy Foundation, which works with organizations across the United States to reduce gun violence.

Pearl Jam released their latest album, Gigaton, through Monkeywrench / Republic Records in late March. The set debuted at n. # 1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and landed in the top five on the Billboard 200.

On World Ocean Day 2020, how is the fashion industry acting?

Oceans The reality is: More than 8 million metric tons of plastics enter the oceans each year, in addition to the 150 million metric tons that currently circulate in marine environments. This is a pressing issue when you consider that scientists have discovered that the plastic waste we can see and measure only represents a small percentage of the total amount of plastic entering the ocean.
