Even those who faithfully believed R.E.M would one day perform again had all lost their religion since the band’s last performance in 2008. So sure was Michael Stipe and his bandmate’s insistence that the pioneering alt-rock band would never reform. Yet that faith was shaken last night when R.E.M. took to the stage at the 2024 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony to perform an acoustic rendition of their hit ‘Losing My Religion’.

This is partly because the original master tapes mysteriously vanished from Apple Corps shortly after the film's completion. Now, the "lost film", shot on 16mm negative, has been meticulously restored and remastered into 4k....

At that time, all I knew about Cobain was Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ being played on repeat on MTV, and the striking image of a naked baby swimming for a dollar on the 'Nevermind' poster taped to my neighbour’s bedroom wall. I always looked up to my neighbours, siblings who are respectively three and five years older than me – an age gap which was a huge deal for a younger me with little to no cool factor to speak of. They were my cool factor, the gatekeepers to know-how I lacked. Both brothers frequently took me under their ...
