Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron has left the band after nearly three decades of musical innovation. His decision, shared via social media, marks the end of a significant era for the iconic rock group.
Cameron joined Pearl Jam in 1998 amid a time of uncertainty, quickly establishing himself as a mainstay. His debut album with the group, Binaural, helped redefine their sound for a new generation.
His dual role with Soundgarden added to his legend, and from 2010 to 2017 he juggled both commitments with remarkable professionalism. His playing style brought structure and excitement to every performance.
After completing a yearlong tour for Dark Matter, Cameron chose to bow out. His contributions to Pearl Jam’s stability, creativity, and live energy will not be forgotten.
