Watch Michael Stipe and his band R.E.M performing Moon River and Pretty Persuasion on England’s Old Grey Whistle Test in 1984. You know straight away that they were destined for bigger things. The release single of Losing My Religion in 1991 changed and defined R.E.M’s musical career and life: along with its critically-acclaimed music video, the song became their highest-charting hit in the United States.
Stipe understood why it was such a hit: "It's just a classic obsession pop song. I've always felt the best kinds of songs are the ones where anybody can listen to it, put themselves in it and say, 'Yeah, that's me.'"

This shot was taken backstage during a gig at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England.

'Not many people can eat raisins and look cool. Michael Stipe is possibly with the exception of Beck the coolest looking person I have photographed. He looks great full time.'
