Newly reunited Police still bickering
Don’t be fooled by the forced comeraderie among the just-formed Police. According to Andy Summers, the daggers are still sharp between the trio.
He recently bitched to Female First: "We are a rock band, so by definition you have to be somewhat at the edge of battle with each other. It lends to the right kind of tension in the music. You’ve got to have this slightly oil-water situation. I feel like I am going into battle with this tour. I need to strap on psychic armour." Is he going to have a tantric face off with Sting?
He’s still not over their breakup: "The wound wouldn’t heal because there was no ‘this is the last album, this is the farewell tour.’ I do not ever remember us sitting down and formally saying, ‘This is the end of the band.’ We just went away and didn’t come back. After a while I couldn’t lie anymore. I knew we weren’t coming back."
Hope they can make all the way through the tour without ripping each other’s hairpieces out!

Surprise reunion!
Looks like Sting might be playing some rocking music again!
After his extended solo journey into mellow "mood music" !! — rumors are now swirling that the Police will reunite for 2007 dates in England and the United States, which would be the rock trio’s first since disbanding in 1986.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne," the single that broke the Police in the United States.
In a statement issued last month, A&M Records said, "It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band’s catalog 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…. yet".
Hopefully Sting will unwrap from the tantric position and strap on his guitar!
