R.E.M. Officially Disbands:
“A wise man once said–’the skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave.’ We built something extraordinary together. We did this thing. And now we’re going to walk away from it.
“I hope our fans realize this wasn’t an easy decision; but all things must end, and we wanted to do it right, to do it our way.< “We have to thank all the people who helped us be R.E.M. for these 31 years; our deepest gratitude to those who allowed us to do this. It’s been amazing.” – Michael
After 31 years together, rock band R.E.M. has decided to break up.
The band released 15 albums, including classics like Murmur, Reckoning, Document, Out of Time, and Automatic For the People. The band released its final album, Collapse Into Now, in March this year.
R.E.M. was founded in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry, in Athens. The band's first single, "Radio Free Europe," was released in 1981 on indie record label Hib-Tone, and two years later released its debut album, Murmur, which was met with critical acclaim.
