R.E.M. original members reunited on stage for the first time in 17 years at a tribute show for their "Murmur" album, with Michael Stipe attending but not performing.

R.E.M. members Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, and Bill Berry reunited on stage together for the first time in 17 years on February 8, 2023, during a concert at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia. The reason for the reunion was a tribute tour by actor Michael Shannon and musician Jason Narducy, who have been performing R.E.M. 's "Murmur" album in its entirety. Although all four original members attended, Stipe did not perform, but later joined his bandmates and expressed his appreciation for the concert.
