Like many fathers before him, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder sang "Let It Go" from Frozen, but unlike most other dads, Vedder belted Disney's self-empowerment anthem and channeled his inner Queen Elsa in front of thousands of rock fans.

During an encore performance of the band's 1993 Vs. single "Daughters" at San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, on Saturday, Pearl Jam broke into a few lines of "Let It Go."

This fan video shows 49-year-old Vedder, who has two young daughters, attempt to hit the notes in the Oscar-winning song made famous by Idina Menzel.

That snippet was taken from this full performance video of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe" and "Daughters." Vedder jumps into "Let It Go" at 8:25. It segues into Dead Moon's "It's OK."

Pearl Jam followed up the surprise mashup with "Jeremy."

The Seattle rockers are touring Europe before embarking on a 10-city U.S. fall tour, which will piggyback on the band's previously announced Austin City Limits Music Festival gig. Pearl Jam's 10th studio album, Lightning Bolt, hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 200 in 2013.

Meanwhile, Disney's "Let It Go" has racked up more than 263 million views on YouTube.
