R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe on “CBS This Morning.”

Among other things he says it’s unlikely that R.E.M. will ever reunite. “That will never happen,” he says.

I bet they do.

And he talks about how shy he was when the band first got famous and it sounds like he’ll do a solo album at some point.

“I think I’ll sing again,” he says. “Not soon.”
