So it was revealed earlier today that American rock band R.E.M. were finally calling it a day after a length 31-year career in the music industry.
They posted a statement on their official website saying: "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".
After their latest album (released in early 2011) sold a disappointing amount on it's first week, it was clear the disbanding of this group was coming. Regardless, it's a sad day in the music industry - but they did predict "Everybody Hurts, Sometimes".
