Michael Stipe is marking the 30th anniversary of R.E.M.'s 'New Adventures In Hi-Fi,' an album he considers his favorite, while also promoting his long-awaited solo work with the release of the new track 'Hum Desiderata.' He has also been active in live performances, including a rendition of 'I Played the Fool' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' with Andrew Watt and other musicians, and a cover of Elvis Presley with Brandi Carlile at the Gansett Games.
