Ever since R.E.M. parted ways a few years ago, Michael Stipe has
mostly shied away from the spotlight. But he’s taking part in this
weekend’s David Bowie tribute concerts at Carnegie Hall. And last night, he brought his massive new Rasputin beard to The Tonight Show, making his debut TV performance as a solo artist. With only a pianist backing him up, Stipe sang “The
Man Who Sold The World,” Bowie’s oft-covered classic, and he did it as
an impressionist hymn. We don’t always think of Stipe as a great pure
singer, but this is a really nice performance, tingly and beautifully
sung. There are some high notes toward the end that are just
crystalline.
