Eddie Vedder seems to be playing things close to the vest when it concerns replacing Matt Cameron in Pearl Jam.
Cameron left last July, and the band hasn’t really spoken about how they’ll fill the drum stool. Eddie Vedder tells Rolling Stone that he recently read a description of the group’s current state that rang true. “The quote was, I think, ‘Pearl Jam is in between eras at the moment.’ And I thought that was actually pretty concise.”
But Vedder dodged the question of whether the band has already found a new drummer in a weird way. “ If I were to say anything, I think we’d wanna have a band discussion about what we’d wanna say or who would be the messenger or whatever.”
Vedder did say that the band has been playing together recently. “We’re in the lab, we’re woodshedding, excited. It’s cool to think of change. As much as we’d like to have done it the way we did it forever — and we’ll still be able to do that thing — I think we’re all just excited for the future.”
