Earlier this week, Post Malone got emotional talking about a Pearl Jam song close to his heart.

He told Stern that listening to “Better Man” gets him choked up every time he hears it. Why?

Because when was around 12 years old, he went to visit his brother, a Marine, who was stationed in Hawaii and his brother played the song for him. Since then, Malone said, it makes him “fucking cry. He is just a beautiful man. And he introduced me to Pearl Jam in a big fucking way.”

Malone then did his own acoustic version of “Better Man.”
