Sting is in talks to re-form The Police and tour with the group - 30 years after they were formed.

The band, who rank alongside The Rolling Stones and The Beatles among the greats of rock, are considering playing a series of dates in the UK next summer.

Consisting of Sting on bass and vocals, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers, the group have been in discussions for months.

They became one of the biggest bands of the Eighties with hits including Walking On The Moon, Every Breath You Take, Don't Stand So Close To Me and Message In A Bottle.

News that they are re-forming will surprise fans as Sting, 55, has always resolutely opposed the move in the past.

Sources say rehearsals have been pencilled in to take place before Sting begins the February leg of his latest European tour and after Copeland has finished his stint as a judge in the BBC celebrity duet show Just The Two Of Us.

The record label, A&M, is believed to be planning a special anniversary release in June and the tour dates would coincide with that.

A source said: 'They were intending to announce it in January after all the tour dates had been finalised.

'They are speaking to venues about booking dates in May and June. Everyone who knows about it is incredibly excited because they were a legendary band.'

A spokeswoman for A&M confirmed discussions had taken place but denied there were any firm dates for concerts.

She said: 'Next year is the 30th anniversary of the release of Roxanne, the first Police single. It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band's catalogue of songs.

'Needless to say, everyone is hopeful the band will support our plans and while early discussions have taken place, nothing has been decided.'

Miles Copeland, the former manager of The Police and brother of Stewart, said: 'It's the 30th anniversary and there has been mention of this for some time, but I can't comment.'

Stewart formed The Police in 1977 with Sting. Miles recognised the power of their blend of pop, punk and reggae and got them a record deal when he heard Roxanne, the first of many worldwide hits.

Naw, he's probably just moving the rest of his stuff to his CASTLE in England. Call me crazy, but most guys who own their own CASTLE in the English countryside probably are NOT suffering from any cashflow problems....

You're probably right. The article doesn't say anything about any US dates. But who knows. If things go well, maybe they would add them later. Stranger things have happened. Don't ruin this for me!!

 

He has stated publicly multiple times that he would NEVER reunite with The Police, even though Andy and Stewart have been open to it (they never wanted to disband in the first place). I saw an interview with him a few years ago when someone asked him if it would ever happen and he paused and said, "why????" then started laughing.

They played a few songs together at Sting's wedding (on the wedding band's equipment). Sting said he found himself giving Stewart dirty looks for rushing the tempo and that it was just like the old days. He also said they each had way too much to drink. LOL.

When they played together at the R&R HOF induction, they supposedly had a blast, except for Stewart breaking his snare head. They've always been good friends, so who knows....

Maybe Sting has finally put his MASSIVE ego aside in the interest of the band and the fans. Or for money. Either way, I'm fine with it.

 

I (de) do (do do, de da da da) believe you're making fun of me.

If I ever see you in person, my advice to you is don't stand....don't stand so....don't stand so close to me. Or you may end up walking on the moon.
