The Indie band REM, known for hits like "The One I Love", "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts" announced that they are splitting up after 31 years.
In a statement on their website Wednesday, the band said "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." Since forming in 1980, they released 15 albums, with "Collapse into Now" as their last album.
