The band broke up in 2011 and all four original members haven't played together since 2007. That changed Thursday night in New York City, where Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe took the stage during their induction ceremony. Mills spoke with GPB ahead of the gathering to talk about what the band's songs mean to its legacy.
R.E.M., Steely Dan, Timbaland, Hillary Lindsey and Dean Pitchford will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. R.E.M. are behind such alt-rock hits as "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts." The induction ceremony for the class of 2024 will be held on June 13 in New York City.
