MICHAEL STIPE (aged 66), the riveting frontman of R.E.M. (1989-2011), one of the most significant and successful American bands ever, has talked a lot about his debut solo LP lately.
Last Thursday, he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
He unveiled a new song that’ll be part of the full-length. It’s named The Rest Of Ever,
a groovy and puissant R.E.M.-esque love musing, performed with the show’s house band. He also confirmed that his solo debut is still on the way and will arrive at the end of the year.
It’s not end of the world, as we know it.
