R.E.M. fans can stop getting their hopes up now. In a new interview with rollingstone.com bassist Mike Mills recalls having a moment where the thought of being onstage again was exciting, but it wasn't very long at all before a cold splash of reality put the idea firmly out of his head again.
"I said, They’ll be doing it tomorrow night, and the night after that, and the week after that, and the week after that, and the month after that. I said, You know what? It’s actually OK.”
"We’ve all got our own things that we’re doing," adds Mills, "and I think we’re all really happy with the way things are.".
