Matt Cameron Exits Pearl Jam After 27 Years


Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron has left the band after 27 years, they revealed in a social media post.

“Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter,” he said. In a separate statement, the band — now consisting of Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Eddie Vedder — championed the time they spent performing with Cameron. “From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer,” Pearl Jam wrote.
