(NME) REM were joined onstage by punk legend PATTI SMITH as they closed their world tour in front of 80,000 fans in LONDON's HYDE PARK on Saturday (July 16).

The singer came on to sing vocals on 'E-Bow The Letter', which she does on the 1996 studio version, which was a Top Five UK hit single that year. She appeared to forget most of the words, but made up for it with a stunning ad-libbed vocal at the end of the song, leading to delirious applause.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
