Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament was mugged outside an Atlanta studio where the band was recording, according to an Associated Press report.
The report quoted the police as saying that three masked men wearing black came out of the woods behind Southern Tracks recording studio and attacked Ament and employee Mark Anthony Smith as they arrived in a rented Jeep late last month,
DeKalb County police further said that the men smashed three of the Jeep’s windows, snatched a Blackberry and two computers and demanded money. Ament jumped out of the passenger side and tried to run, but one of the men pushed him to the ground and stole his passport.
The thieves got away with $3,000 cash, along with computers and other equipment worth more than $4,000. Paramedics treated Ament for head injuries.
