R.E.M. To Tour In Autumn?

REM, under pressure for not touring behind its new album Reveal, is now considering hitting the road in the fall, says the group's manager Bertis Downs on the band's web site.

"To get the ball rolling for fall – it looks very likely that R.E.M. will be active again in September and October…We will certainly do some things for the United States and Europe, and there is even talk of a possible trip to South America."
