The band also made headlines this week after frontman Michael Stipe revealed he is gay.
Rock band REM’s frontman Michael Stipe has revealed he is gay, ending speculation about his sexual orientation.
The 41-year-old singer told Time magazine he was a “queer artist” who had been in a relationship with a man for three years.
His revelation comes after years of speculation about his sexuality and false rumours that he had Aids.
Stipe told the magazine he believed it was the right time to reveal his sexuality.
“I was being made to be a coward about it, rather than someone who felt like it really was a very private thing,” he told the magazine.
