All four founding members of the band got together to play a live version of 'Losing My Religion' for the Songwriters Hall Of Fame audience
It’s been 17 years since all four founding members of R.E.M. — Michael Stipe , Bill Berry , Peter Buck , and Mike Mills —played together in public, a rarity ever since drummer Berry departed the group in 1997.

surprised them with a reunion, how could you not—albeit a quiet, acoustic version of the 1991 classic, with Buck illustrating that he still has firm command of the song’s classic mandolin riff, and Stipe in excellent voice. It’s the sort of thing probably guaranteed to generate “you had to have been there” moments—although in the world of endless social media, of course, it’s easier and easier to fake it by trawling Instagram to get basically a full cut of the performance.
