On The Late Present With Stephen Colbert final night time, Michael Stipe returned to the studio to talk and carry out an unreleased tune known as “The Remainder of Ever.” The monitor is ready to look on his debut solo album, which, he revealed, is coming on the finish of this 12 months.

He likes the thought of Billie Eilish; David Cross, not a lot.
