Michael Stipe announces first solo album & debuts new single live on Colbert.
Michael Stipe reveals the struggle to finish his solo album, weighed down by the immense legacy and high bar set by his iconic band, R.E.M.
After discovering the ant in the rainforest in Ecuador, Phillip Hoenle reaches out to the R.E.M. frontman for assistance in asking one of Andy Warhol's legion of 'Superstars' for the name use.
Although he cannot play any instrument and really does not know what he was doing, the former R.E.M. frontman insists on writing his 18 pieces of music himself for the first time.
The R.E.M. star criticizes Georgia's governor for being 'slow to order safety measures and quick to lift them' in his home state amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
