After nearly three decades drumming for the rock supergroup, Matt Cameron is leaving Pearl Jam. Cameron, 62, announced the decision with a post to Instagram July 7, thanking his fellow bandmates and fans for "the opportunity of a lifetime" and teasing what comes next.

Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron said Monday that he’s leaving the band after nearly 30 years. The 62-year-old Cameron announced his departure in a social media post.

Cameron joined Pearl Jam in 1998 on their Yield Tour after spending more than a decade with Soundgarden. When Soundgarden reunited in 2010, Cameron was a member of both groups, though Soundgarden later disbanded after lead singer Chris Cornell died in 2017. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of both bands.
