"To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." R.E.M.
I live in close proximity to the city they started out in. A great, long-running band... what a shame :\ _________________ kill yr idols
Oh well. I hope Stipe and company are able to each move on to good projects on their own. REM was great, but it was starting to be run into the ground.
I grew up with them. And even if I haven't been expecting anything like Murmur for quite some time now, I am deeply moved by this separation. Good luck to them in their future enterprises !
It's a real shame. I was only listening to 'This Charming Man' earlier today. Great song and a great band.
what?
anyway wow! this is massive. With them going it kinda makes you realise how big they really are.
......an_outlaw: I think you are confused with the Smiths? Who broke up decades ago
But, ya, sad news. Never a big fan of their albums, but they had some great singles. Judging by their latest effort, it was about time they broke up though. _________________ Doubles & Conch
