Who is Michael Stipe husband Thomas Dozol?

John Michael Stipe is an American singer-songwriter and artist, best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the alternative rock band R.E.M. He is known for his vocal quality, poetic lyrics, and unique stage presence.

Possessing a distinctive voice, Stipe has been noted for the “mumbling” style of his early career. Since the mid-1980s, Stipe has sung in “wailing, keening, arching vocal figures” that R.E.M. biographer David Buckley compared to Celtic folk artists and Muslim muezzin. He was in charge of R.E.M.’s visual aspect, often selecting album artwork and directing many of the band’s music videos. Outside the music industry, he owns and runs two film production studios, C-00 and Single Cell Pictures.

John Michael Stipe was born on January 4, 1960, in Decatur, Georgia, to Marianne and John Stipe. He was a military brat; his father was a serviceman in the United States Army whose career resulted in frequent relocations for his family. His younger sister, Lynda Stipe, was born in 1962 and became the vocalist of her own band, Hetch Hetchy.

Stipe and his family moved to various locales during his childhood, including West Germany, Texas, Illinois, and Alabama. In 1978, he graduated from high school in Collinsville, Illinois. His senior photo is pictured in the album artwork of Eponymous.

Stipe also worked at the local Waffle House. He was raised in and came from “a place of faith,” as previous generations of his family were Methodist ministers.
