è vero che l'ha già detto tante volte, ma pare che in un'intervista appena rilasciata al Times (l'articolo non si può leggere, ma si trovano tanti "riassunti" online) abbia detto che vuole pubblicare il suo disco solista nel 2026 e che ha rimandato tante volte perché vuole che sia all'altezza dei REM
“I’m working on a solo album,” he said. “But it’s taken longer than I wanted.”
Explaining the delays, he continued: “Covid didn’t help, but I’m finishing it. When the band split, I just needed a break. I took five years but I got pulled back into music. It’s been a struggle. That’s the main thing. I want it to be great, but I’ve got the pressure of having been in R.E.M. and it’s a high bar, because I want this to be as good as that, and that’s near impossible.”
“So it’s fucking exciting but also terrifying, and I’m doing the music for the first time too, and I think I’m good at it but not great,” he added. “But I love my voice. I don’t like my speaking voice but I love my singing voice, and I so want to immerse myself back into offering music to the world.”
