BBC World Service - HARDtalk, REM lead singer Michael Stipe

The American rock band REM split up in 2011 after 31 years together

Michael Stipe says 'it feels a million miles' since he was performing with REM but he tells HARDtalk the 'music is not dying at all' and he will release more of his own songs.

Michael Stipe was the lead singer of one of the most influential bands of the last four decades, REM. He was the figurehead of indie rock, enigmatic, serious, political. Now he’s a visual artist, so how has his creative vision evolved?
