The Police - Message In A Bottle

The Police announce their 2007 reunion tour at Hollywood's Whisky a Go Go with a "rehearsal" performance. This is the First of four songs performed.  


English rock trio, The Police, originally formed in 1977, and what a quality act they were! The trio consisted of Sting (real name Gordon Sumner), who played bass guitar and sang lead vocals, Andy Summers on guitar and vocals, and Stewart Copeland on drums/percussion and vocals.

The band became popular World-wide in the late 1970s and are regarded as one of the first New Wave groups to have achieved mainstream success.

Their biggest-selling album from 1983, Synchronicity, was number one in the UK and the US and sold over 8,000,000 copies in the US. It also went 8x Platinum.

The band broke up in 1984, but reunited again in early 2007 for a one-off World Tour lasting until August 2008, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their hit single "Roxanne".

The Police have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and became the world's highest-earning musicians in 2008, thanks to their reunion tour.
