Original REM drummer Bill Berry will perform three songs with the band to celebrate their induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on 16 Sep in Atlanta. Berry has only played on three previous occasions with the group since his departure in 1997, most recently, as previously reported, at the wedding of REM guitar tech Dewitt Burton in October last year.
Following that induction, REM are to shortly head back into the studio after a year long break. That previously reported CD/DVD collection, 'And I Feel Fine', a compilation of their early recordings, is out next week on EMI.
