Soundgarden are rehearsing for their performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony next week, and drummer Matt Cameron has revealed who's going to be playing with them.
Cameron posted photos of his fellow inductees Ben Shepherd, Kim Thayil and Hiro Yamamoto on his Instagram story, and included pics of his former Pearl Jam bandmate Mike McCready, Alice in Chains singer-guitarist Jerry Cantrell and The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen.
McCready, Cantrell and Momsen were already announced by the Rock Hall at appear at the ceremony, so it's no surprise that they are joining Soundgarden. Brandi Carlile is also taking part in the ceremony, and she's expected to either sing or induct them -- or possibly do both.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is set for November 8th in Los Angeles. The Rock Hall's Class of 2025 is Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-N-Pepa, Warren Zevon, Nicky Hopkins and Carol Kaye.
In other Soundgarden news, guitarist Kim Thayil has announced a memoir called A Screaming Life that will be published in May. Thayil says "it tells my story as an American son of immigrants growing up in Chicago. Then, along with another immigrant’s American son, Hiro Yamamoto, we travel to Seattle as idealistic youths, involve ourselves with underground and independent subcultures, and connect with Chris Cornell to form Soundgarden. It follows my experiences, journeys and growth with the band and the building of the Seattle music scene; ultimately, to partner with Matt Cameron and later Ben Shepherd as we worked and played towards our worldwide successes."
