Enter your own “It’s The End of The World” cliché here — (It’s been overdone so I’m not going to do it; but yes, R.E.M has called an end to their world).
The band took to their website to announce the split:
“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.
