Rock of a different Stipe: Rieflin with REMin 2008
A MUSICIAN with a mindbending CV, Rieflin initially displayed his supreme technical ability in his work drumming with industrial rockers Ministry and the Revolting Cocks. He also played with Nine Inch Nails, with REM on their final tour in 2008, and worked in the studio with Robbie Williams. He joined King Crimson in 2013, retiring from drums in 2016. He returned after a sabbatical to focus on keys, Mellotron and “fairy dusting”. After taking an “indefinite sabbatical” in 2019, he was not replaced in King Crimson.
