The final dates of Pearl Jam’s spring tour have been canceled with both Matt Cameron and Jeff Ament testing positive for COVID-19. After struggling to find replacements while finishing up a few shows, the band decided to invite audience members to play some tracks. Both Josh Arroyo and Kai Neukermans got the opportunity to play with Pearl Jam.
“While the band battled through Oakland after drummer Matt Cameron tested positive for Covid, and Fresno where Ed and the band got through it with the help of Dave Krusen as special guest drummer, they now have to present the heartbreaking news that this morning bassist Jeff Ament has tested positive for Covid,” the band said in a statement. “This is horrible for everybody involved and we are especially sorry to those out there who have made plans to attend these shows. Our attention to staying inside the bubble has been constant. We have truly done all that we could have to remain clear of infection. Regretfully, the Sacramento and Las Vegas shows are canceled. Ticket refunds will be automatically processed to ticket holders’ method of purchase. We are so very sorry. Be safe out there.”
The final locations of Pearl Jam’s spring 2022 tour would have been in Sacramento and Las Vegas, but instead are looking to restart June 18.
