Matt Cameron Exits Pearl Jam After 27 Years

Yahoo07-07-2025
Matt Cameron has departed from Pearl Jam. In a social media statement, the drummer announced he would be leaving the band after 27 years. '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. '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.'
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.

Cameron performed with Soundgarden from 1986 until 1997, and returned for a brief stint from 2010 through 2017, and briefly worked with Queens of the Stone Age, though he never officially joined the band. Pearl Jam marked his longest stretch of time in a band.
'He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings,' the band shared. 'It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music. We love you Matt.'
In May, Pearl Jam concluded their year-long Dark Matter world tour. The live show supported their 12th studio album of the same name. 'Matt Cameron is a fuckin' drum god. Everyone just bows down to his ability and what he can do,' Dark Matter producer Andrew Watt told Rolling Stone in 2024. 'No one else could sit down and play those drum parts. I'm so lucky to have the stems of the album. I've listened to it all the way through listening to just the drum track. That's how much I love Matt Cameron.'

Hailee Steinfeld Says She Started Following a Plant-Based Diet After ‘Stomach Sensitivities'

Hailee Steinfeld takes healthy eating very seriously. 'I'm not vegan, but I did follow a plant-based diet for a few years when I was having a lot of stomach sensitivities,' Steinfeld, 28, wrote in the Friday, July 18, issue of her 'Beau Society' newsletter. 'I met with a gastroenterologist and did one of those crazy panels, which showed my body was reactive to so many things I was eating.' She added, 'It's not that the foods were bad, but I think I was overdoing it. So I went plant-based, and it was wonderful. I actually realized that there are so many meals I eat — and love — that are 'vegan' and I wasn't even conscious of it.' While the Sinners star did not reveal why or when she stopped following the nutritional plan, she's been candid about adopting a healthy mindset about food. Celebrity Vegans and Vegetarians: Miley Cyrus, Milo Ventimiglia and More 'My relationship to food is rather simple. I eat when I'm hungry,' Steinfeld told Women's Health in 2022. 'I eat so that I can train, I don't train so that I can eat, and I feel I can perform to the best of my ability if I have that mindset.' Now, she is somewhat of an aspiring chef and noted on Friday that she recently made a cacio e pepe ravioli that she described as 'chef's kiss.' 'Making pasta is time-consuming, but dare I say, fairly easy,' she recalled. 'We made bruschetta too. Next up is this Alison Roman chicken and artichoke dinner [recipe].' Steinfeld also balances her diet with frequent workouts. Kristin Cavallari, Demi Lovato and More Celebs Share Their Diet and Workout Secrets With Us 'I've never left a workout or a gym session feeling anything other than great and happier,' the actress added to Women's Health. 'Just knowing what my body is capable of and being able to challenge myself…it does something for you mentally that not a lot of other things do.' At the time, Steinfeld revealed that she trains with her dad, who 'really sees [her] potential.' 'He believes in me and he pushes me and knows what I'm capable of,' Steinfeld stressed. 'It's all about finding your balance and understanding where you're coming from that day, and what it is you wanna achieve, and giving yourself grace and patience, and being kind to yourself.' Steinfeld's workout regimen also includes taking her two dogs, Martini and Brando, for walks outside. Steinfeld's pups even got a sweet shoutout in her Friday newsletter. 'I actually never planned on getting tiny dogs, but here we are! Martini and Brando would love a big dog,' she gushed, adding that she hopes to adopt another canine companion down the line. 'My brother has a golden retriever (Dwight!), and they spend a lot of time with him and get along great.'
