R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry is recovering well from surgery to stem bleeding in his brain, but the band's lawyer said Saturday a world tour is on hold.
"All we are concerned about right now is getting him well again," Bertis Downs told The Associated Press.Berry, 36, co-founder of the Atlanta rock group, collapsed Wednesday during a concert at Lausanne, Switzerland.
On Friday he underwent surgery to repair two aneurysms, one of which had ruptured. Surgeons at the University Hospital Center of Vaud in Lausanne said the operation was a success. At first, it was thought he was suffering from a migraine.
