Pearl Jam in Transition: Eddie Vedder Discusses Band's Future in Recent Interview

Pearl Jam has been in a transitional phase since drummer Matt Cameron left the band seven months ago. Frontman Eddie Vedder recently discussed the band's current state in an interview, describing it as being "in between eras." While Vedder did not confirm if a new drummer has been found, he mentioned that the band is actively playing together and open to change.

Cameron, who joined Pearl Jam in 1998 after the initial breakup of Soundgarden, played on all the band's studio albums from Binaural to Dark Matter. He announced his departure in July and is currently working on a new Soundgarden album using vocals recorded by Chris Cornell before his passing. Pearl Jam has had five drummers over the years, but Cameron's 25-year tenure with the band surpasses all previous members combined.

Despite the changes, Vedder expressed excitement about the future and the band's evolution. He mentioned that they are currently rehearsing and looking forward to what lies ahead. Vedder's documentary, Matter of Time, which focuses on his charity work supporting medical research, is now available for streaming on Netflix. Fans can learn more about the film in a full interview with Vedder.
