- A rumor that claims Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron is preparing to replace the late Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters isn’t true.
- That’s according to Cameron, who shot down the rumor on Instagram over the weekend. He wrote, “FYI – the internet rumors are false. I haven’t joined the Foos.”
- That’s not to say Cameron hasn’t performed with the Foo Fighters in the past. In September, he manned the drum kit for the band during a Los Angeles tribute concert for Hawkins, who died in March 2022.
- Who would you like to see replace Hawkins?
