Michael Stipe is a music legend, whose music with REM has brought happiness to many people.
The band were active from 1980 to 2011 and were one of the most successful bands of all time, spawning hits like Losing My Religion and Shiny Happy People and were inducted to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
Since they disbanded, Stipe has been working on solo material and recently paid a visit to Dublin to hang out with some pretty famous pals. He’s since also grown a luxuriant beard.
Just Michael Stipe and Bono, casual.
