Pearl Jam are showing what good sports they are by inviting the previous drummers to celebrate their induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame.

The move comes after it was announced that previous members of the band weren't going to be honoured at the event.

Posting on their Facebook page, the Seattle rock legends said: "With the date of the Hall Of Fame event coming up it is just now sinking in what it means to us.

"While awards and accolades are understandably subjective and a countless number of our peers have yet to be honoured, we do feel fortunate to be recognised and provided the opportunity to reunite with everyone who has been part of the group.

"Specifically the drummers who all left their distinctive mark on our band in the pre-Matt Cameron years.

"Dave Krusen, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Abbruzzese and Jack Irons are each individually great players who gave their all to the early recordings and live gigs.

Looking forward to seeing them and all the other musicians on the bill. Have to say wish H.R. and Perry Farrell were gonna be there too. If nothing else it makes us feel lucky and appreciative of the nod.

The beat goes on.

P.J."

The 32nd Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will take place on Friday, April 7, 2017 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Also being inducted are ELO, Joan Baez, Journey, Tupac Shakur, Yes and Nile Rodgers.
