R.E.M. Never Really Retired.

Its members have kept busy in new bands, especially guitarist Peter Buck.

By Craig Rosen, AARP. Published February 02, 2026.

After a three-decade run that included such hits as “Losing My Religion,” “Man on the Moon” and “The One I Love,” popular rock band R.E.M. split in 2011. But its members never really retired.

Guitarist Peter Buck, 69, has been especially busy since then, playing in numerous acts. And bassist Mike Mills, 67, recently formed a supergroup called Howl Owl Howl with Darius Rucker from Hootie & the Blowfish and Steve Gorman from the Black Crowes.
