Bill Berry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1637 words)
Berry was born in Duluth, Minnesota, to Don and Anna - their fifth child.
On October 30, 1997, three weeks after Berry had broken the news of his decision to retire to his closest friends, MTV are informed and duly dispatch a camera crew to R.E.M. HQ, where all four members of the band gathered for their last television interview as a quartet.
Acquiescing to Berry's wishes, and relieving him from the guilt of triggering a breakup, R.E.M. announced that it would continue as a three-piece, though, with his departure, the band would be losing more than just their drummer.
