The drummer did not give a reason for his departure after nearly 30 years from the Grammy Award-winning rock group.

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.

Cameron first joined in 1998 as a temporary replacement for Jack Irons, playing on a long tour before making his studio debut with the band on 2000's "Binaural."
