"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 would like to say, in reply: "To the members of R.E.M.: we, as fans, thank you for your loyalty, for your original and unconventional music. We will keep on listening and loving this band although there will be a sense of loss and emptiness from now on, since this unit will be no more. Our deepest thanks for everything you gave us."
I guess they really collapsed into now...
More news as we get it.
What's you favorite R.E.M. album? Any memory of this band you'd like to share with us?
