Pearl Jam Drummer Matt Cameron Confirms Active Musician After Exit

Matt Cameron announced his departure from Pearl Jam after 27 years but clarified that he is not retiring and remains an active musician. His exit was amicable, with the band expressing deep gratitude for his contributions and calling him a powerhouse of a drummer. Cameron originally joined Pearl Jam in 1998 following the breakup of his former band, Soundgarden, which has been considering completing a final album using the late Chris Cornell's vocal tracks. Soundgarden recently missed the Black Sabbath farewell concert due to scheduling conflicts. Fans have speculated about Cameron's future projects, but he has not disclosed any specific plans yet. Notably, Cameron will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame again in 2025 as a member of Soundgarden, having previously received the honor with Pearl Jam.
