Matt Cameron, the drummer who helped define Pearl Jam's sound for nearly three decades, has announced his departure from the band. After 27 years of playing with the legendary rock group, Cameron revealed his decision to step down in a heartfelt message shared on social media. 'I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam,' Cameron said in his statement, expressing his gratitude to the band's members—Jeff Ament, Ed Vedder, Mike McCready, and Stone Gossard—for welcoming him into the fold in 1998. He acknowledged the friendships and experiences the band provided, thanking fans, crew, and staff worldwide for their support over the years. In a joint statement, Pearl Jam paid tribute to Cameron's contributions, calling him "a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer." The band highlighted his role in shaping the group's live performances and studio albums, with special mention of his early musical legacy with Soundgarden and other notable projects. 'He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music,' the band stated.

Beyond his drumming skills, he also contributed backing vocals and wrote several songs. Cameron's legacy includes working on some of the band's biggest hits, including 'Last Kiss,' which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Pearl Jam has enjoyed major commercial success, landing 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and securing 13 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200.

Billie Joe Armstrong kicks fan offstage for playing Oasis' 'Wonderwall' during Green Day concert
Green Day's concert in Luxembourg on June 30 took an unexpectedly comedic turn when a fan, invited by Billie Joe Armstrong to play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," began strumming Oasis' iconic hit "Wonderwall" instead. Green Day is known for wrapping up their shows with a special acoustic performance of 'Good Riddance,' often inviting fans onstage to join in. However, this time, the fan had other plans. Armstrong, caught off guard, exhaled with a laugh and remarked, "Nice try, nice try," before removing the guitar from the fan's shoulders and ushering him offstage. Armstrong then continued with the performance, playing "Good Riddance" on his own. IM CRYING A GUY PLAYED WONDERWALL AT A GREEN DAY SHOW😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 — 𖤐martina☥🦇 ݁ ˖ִ LILI'S WIFE🤍 (@listenup28_) June 30, 2025 The moment, captured on video, quickly went viral, sparking laughter and conversation online. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who has recently sparked controversy for a racially insensitive tweet, humorously responded to the video by declaring the "Best song of the night" on X (formerly Twitter), adding to the playful nature of the exchange. Best song of the night — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) July 1, 2025 Gallagher's controversial tweet, which included a racial slur, had ignited a wave of backlash ahead of Oasis's upcoming reunion tour. Despite the online controversy, Gallagher's lighthearted comment added a bit of humor to the situation. Whether the fan's choice to play 'Wonderwall' was a simple mistake or a cheeky nod to Oasis' legacy—especially with their long-awaited reunion tour kicking off in Cardiff just a few days later—it was all in good fun. Green Day's European tour continues, celebrating the anniversaries of their landmark albums 'Dookie' and 'American Idiot,' while Oasis gears up for their first tour in 16 years. The playful exchange between Green Day and Oasis fans only underscores the musical crossover between the two iconic bands, further cemented by a viral 2004 mashup of 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' and 'Wonderwall.' This moment will likely go down as one of the most amusing and memorable fan interactions during Green Day's ongoing European performances.
