What you don't do is announce your next gig at the same time! He is referring to his next music announcement, whatever that might be.
You don’t know that. He had Covid like 8 times in 3 years. He may have some kind of long-Covid stuff going on.
I do know that. I literally explained why it's not health. If it was THAT you say THAT in the announcement not "More to come!"
"I have terminal cancer...I probably should have mentioned that last week."

Would be really weird
Or maybe it’s nobody’s fucking business what his health is and he could want some goddamn privacy about it.
He's not sick!!!!! There is nothing that needs privacy!!!!!

He's a drummer and will be doing another gig! That's it!

MORE JOURNEY TO FOLLOW! NOT DEATH BY CANCER!

Matt Cameron absolutely loves the band, their creative output, their decisions, their touring schedule, his creative output with the band, and still loves playing shows, but just wants to do something different at 61 years old? Dude has been touring with bands for probably 45 years now.
Guys, Strat is correct

Yeah, that was pretty similar to my take. I wouldn't be surprised when PJ inevitably plays the Sphere, that he'll join them for RITFW or something.

Maybe he meant to say "Moore to follow". As in Eric Moore, former drummer for King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, is taking over.

Maybe : " more (band members quitting) to follow " ?

Everything's turning bad bad bad.

(I'm still processing Matt quitting and waiting for more info on his "journey")

Kevin Davis wrote:I'll say this -- I don't get the sense that bringing in Andrew Watt to produce Dark Matter was an equally democratic decision among all band members, and I do get the sense that his working methods were a shift from how the band have historically worked together to write songs. Maybe he just doesn't enjoy that as much, and isn't excited about the idea of continuing to work that way.
Working in that fashion also means there's limited opportunity for Matt to contribute songwriting ideas compared to the other members (or Watt).

Brickwalling should be a jailable offense, even though Watt is not the only one who does it.

I'm not sure why it'd be so crazy to suggest that creative reasons may have something to do with it; just because they play a factor doesn't mean it's acrimonious. And it's one of (if not the) most common reasons a band member leaves a group.

Perhaps Watt slept with Cameron's wife, who knows... hypothesizing ;)

It is fairly entertaining what is being extrapolated from two statements on instagram.
