Matt Cameron has quit as Pearl Jam's drummer. Pearl Jam has had several drummers over the years, but Matt was there the longest.
After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam. 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. I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It’s been an incredible journey. More to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Prior to joining Pearl Jam Matt was Soundgarden's drummer from 1986 until the band broke up in 1997.
Matt once played on a Chad Kroeger song that was featured in Spider-Man and FOTM Jeremy Taggart, formerly of Our Lady Peace, filled in for him in the video. Will Taggart be the new drummer for Pearl Jam? Stay tuned!
