R.E.M. reunited for their first group interview in nearly 30 years ahead of their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The interview, conducted by CBS, marked a significant moment for the band, whose members include Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry. During the interview, the band discussed their formation, rise to fame, and eventual breakup. Despite their reunion for the interview, the band reiterated that they would not play together again, with Michael Stipe stating, 'It would never be as good.' The induction ceremony took place on June 13, 2024, where R.E.M. surprised the audience with a performance of their iconic hit 'Losing My Religion,' marking their first live performance together in 17 years. The ceremony also honored other notable musicians, including Timbaland and Steely Dan.
