Earlier this week, Mike Mills, onetime bassist for alt-rock band REM, said it would take «a comet» to bring him together with his former bandmates to perform one more time for adoring fans. The BBC notes that the comet must’ve hit—because Mills, lead singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, and drummer Bill Berry all took to the stage Thursday night to perform «Losing My Religion» at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
«We are REM», Stipe said, per the AP. «And this is what we did.» The quartet’s appearance at New York City’s Marriott Marquis hotel to play their 1991 hit, off of the album Out of Time, was their first performance together since they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
