STIPE TO QUIT U.S

R.E.M frontman MICHAEL STIPE has threatened to quit America if Senator JOHN McCAIN is elected U.S. President.

The singer - who has recorded a song for McCain's Democratic rival Barack Obama - will move to the U.K if America picks the Republican candidate at the upcoming November (08) elections.

Stipe says, "He served his country and he did a good job as a serviceman, I will honour him for that, but he is not presidential material."

He adds, "I'd have to move to England".
