They wont tour for another 4 years, because Stipe says any sooner tours would cause him to dislike their music. Yeah, the new album is currently being finished in Dublin (Irish power!) and WILL be out next spring.

thanks ronan, although you've upset me now (four years?????). Pleased about the album though :)

I was told by an unreliable source that rem would be at glastonbury next year, but that it would be a one off performance rather than part of a tour. Heres hoping...
