The Police to Re-Unite
good news for fans of band.
..The Police are to reunite and perform at the Grammy Awards next month - more than 20 years after the release of their last album.
Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers will open the 49th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on 11 February.
The band - who had hits with Every Breath You Take and Roxanne - last performed together in 2003.
The Police, who never officially parted before pursuing solo projects, had been rumoured to be planning a comeback.
The band started out in 1977, and had their first number one hit, Message in A Bottle, two years later.
They released their fifth, and last, album Synchronicity, which featured songs Every Breath You Take and Wrapped Around Your Finger.
'Massive news'
They last performed together in celebration of their 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Music journalist Chris Salmon said their reunion was "massive news".
"There are definitely some bands who said they wouldn't reform until hell freezes over and The Police were one of those bands," he said.
"I don't think anyone who likes them or loves them would have considered this would happen.
"It's 30 years since The Police formed - and that anniversary gives you a bit of an excuse.
"I suppose people start to think about legacy and Sting perhaps wants people to remember he's not this bland tantric sex-lover, and that he once fronted this amazing rock group."
The trio, who won five Grammys in their 1980s prime, join a live performance line-up that already includes Justin Timberlake, Beyonc, Mary J. Blige, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Blige has picked up eight nominations including record of the year for Be Without You.............

I'll never forgive Sting for revealing that Every Breath You Take wasn't, as a younger version of me thought, a sadly romantic song about seeing the unattainable object of one's deepest desire and, even though one knows that one can never be with her, one will carry on thinking of her, rather than moving on and mending one's broken heart.
No, it's not about that at all. In fact, "...its a nasty little song, really rather evil. Its about jealousy and surveillance and ownership."
What yellow-and-black-jumpered tantric-shagging git said this? Yes! Sting! Ruined it for me forever. Bastard!

I know, and I always maintain that the individual listener's interpretation of any song is the most important one... it's what it means to you, no matter what the artist intended.
However, artists don't always explain their songs as explicitly as Mr Sumner has about Every Breath You Take, and furthermore, I always reserve the right to have at least one exception to any or all of my proclamations. This is definitely the exception to the rule, and thus, Sting is a git. QED.

They weren't a bad group actually. Just a shame Sting is such a prick.
