Mike McCready of Pearl Jam reunited with drummer Matt Cameron at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Soundgarden. Cameron had announced in July that he was leaving Pearl Jam. On the red carpet, McCready shared that the band is currently searching for a new drummer to fill Cameron’s spot.
“We’re kinda looking around right now,” McCready said. He added a lighthearted touch, joking that the Rock Hall event was a great place to start auditioning new drummers. “I think tonight I’m gonna be trying, getting some numbers and auditioning with pencils,” he quipped. “So we’ll see.”
Cameron joined Pearl Jam in 1998 after Soundgarden disbanded in 1997. He has now been inducted into the Rock Hall with both bands.
Highlights from the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will air on ABC on January 1.
