Police Reunion Rumors Reaching Fever Pitch
by foxie 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

January 03, 2007, 3:10 PM ET Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. Rumors are swirling that the Police will reunite for 2007 dates in England and the United States, which would be the legendary trio's first since disbanding in 1986. Sources tell Billboard.com the reports are legitimate but would not publicly comment until final details are nearer to completion. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne," the single that broke the Police in the United States. "Discussions have been underway as to how this will be commemorated," reads a post on Sting's Web site attributed to an A&M spokesperson. "While we can confirm that there will indeed be something special done to mark the occasion, the depth of the band's involvement still remains undetermined." Sources say in addition to DVD releases, A&M is planning another multi-disc collection in the vein of 1993's "Message in a Box," which featured the band's complete studio recordings and a handful of rarities. A Police reunion has been the concert industry's dream for two decades, as it is believed the band could play stadiums internationally should it choose to reunite. But besides an impromptu set at Sting's 1992 wedding to Trudie Styler, the Police's only other post-breakup performance was in celebration of its 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And while Sting has repeatedly expressed reluctance at reuniting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers have kept the flame alive. This summer, Summers told Billboard he was certain the group could have continued on past its 1983 commercial peak with "Synchronicity." "The more rational approach would have been, 'OK, Sting, go make a solo record, and let's get back together in two or three years,'" he said. "I'm certain we could have done that. Of course we could have. We were definitely not in a creative dry space. We could have easily carried on, and we could probably still be there. That wasn't to be our fate. It went in another way. I regret we never paid it off with a last tour. We snuck out the back door, which is what we were told to do, until it just became too frustrating to lie about it." "I'm very keen on it," Copeland told Billboard.com of a potential reunion, the day after the Rock Hall induction. "But I absolutely understand why it's not going to happen and I'm down with that. It was really great to be the Police for 15 minutes. If you can think of some other award we can go get or some other good reason, give me a call, and I'll try it out!" In 2001, Copeland excitedly told Billboard about "one piece of unreleased Police product" which he hoped would eventually see the light of day. "One of the times when they were working on the box set or something like that, they convened the three of us on the phone. Sting and Andy were in Italy; Andy was visiting Sting at the time, and I was on a DSL line in L.A.," he recalled. "And we went down all the song titles from all of our albums. Song title: 'Can't Stand Losing You.' And we each just talked about the track and argued and shouted and screamed. There was laughter and tears. It was very cathartic. It was almost like a therapy session. It was hysterical. It was so much fun." "We were really going at it with all the language, straight for the jugular, refighting the battles, laughing hysterically while we put the stiletto exactly where we stuck it last time," he continued. "The engineer said it was like watching a concert. They were in Italy and it's like after dinner, and I'm here in L.A. at 10 in the morning. I'm getting more and more caffeinated as they're getting drunker and drunker." "It seems like we're in contact all the time, but actually, years go by," Copeland said of his ongoing relationship with Summers and Sting. "It's sort of like whenever we see each other, it's like we saw each other five minutes ago. We don't have any sensation of time going by. We don't pick up the phone every week, but when we do, we pick up from where we left off." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

reunion newz
by foxie 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

hello to all. i must apologize for being on the sidelines recently, but i have had a HELL of a past few weeks. anyway...here's hoping this talk of 'reunion' proves fruitful. ms. michelle, while you are always right, you have never been MORE right about the lute project. i have yet to even buy it. as i have stated here before...it gets harder and harder to be a sting fan with each passing year. as for EVERYONE STARES...it is just tremendous. the derangements on it are worth the sticker price alone. and i have yet to buy andy's book, though i have read a good part of it...seems like a great read. best in 2007, rich __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Official News

04 Jan '07

Hi, This is from Sting.com: "30th Anniversary of the First Police Single - Official News As numerous rumors have started circulating regarding plans for a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Police single, the following is an official statement released on behalf of the band by a spokesperson at Interscope Geffen A&M Records. As the 30th anniversary of the first Police single approaches, discussions have been underway as to how this will be commemorated. While we can confirm that there will indeed be something special done to mark the occasion, the depth of the band's involvement still remains undetermined." OK, nothing new regarding a tour, but at least no one is saying it won't happen. I never saw The Police live, although they played 500 meters from my house when I was seven. This time I don't care if they play in New Zealand on a Sunday, I will be there. Crossing my fingers, Nuno

Hah! Wouldn't that be something? Decisions, decisions. A family memeber's funeral, or perhaps the last time to see the Police together again in concert? Sounds like a Seinfeld episode..... Well, if my wife goes into labor the same day the Police are in my town, God help me, because I'm not sure I would make the best choice as far as my wife is concerned.....

Yay! Welcome to the REAL list! I was feeling guilty not participating here nor on sting.com for the past several months. Love Sting, and was hanging on for the sake of that much of the Police w/fairly easy access, but the Lute tour has kind of thrown me for a loop. We were getting somewhere w/the Broken Music tour, had those feelings of the Police days a little bit, but the lute tour? Bought the CD (because I have to have everything sting, stew or andy does) but have yet to take the cellophane off. Guess I'm just not ready for that yet. Are my musical tastes not maturing w/my age, or am I just stuck in the 80's? I long for the day to be bouncing around to Voices, Demolition Man... whatever! Maybe I can sleep tonight. couldn't fall asleep until 4 am with voices inside my head....... ; 0 michelle In a message dated 1/3/07 12:45:55 AM, slangele(a)yahoo.com writes: > Ok, you know what?
