The April issue of Q, onsale 1 March, celebrates the glorious resurrection of one of Americašs most revered bands, R.E.M.
They have, of course, appeared in Q many times over the years guitarist Peter Buck even had a monthly column at one point - and hence our photo archive contains an embarrassment of R.E.M.-related riches.
Here are a few of our favourite images, spanning almost two decades from
1987 (when Q was launched) to 2005.
