In all seriousness, if this works out it would be very very cool. I love the Police.

I've been waiting for this since 1984.

REPORT: Police Rehearsing For Tour In Vancouver

January 25, 2007, 4:00 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
The Police will rehearse for their upcoming reunion tour at Lions Gate Studios in Vancouver, according to reports today (Jan. 25) by the city's classic rock radio station, CFMI. Details of the summer trek, the band's first in more than two decades, will be announced next month.

In addition, the Police are strongly rumored to be performing as part of the opening segment of the Grammy telecast on Feb. 11 from Los Angeles' Staples Center. At deadline, a Grammy spokesperson had no information on a possible appearance by the group.

Before the Police get busy, Sting has a three-week European tour on tap in support of his lute album, "Songs From the Labryinth." The outing, which finds the artist accompanied by lutenist Edin Karamazov, begins Feb. 18 in Paris and wraps March 12 in Stuttgart, Germany.

On Feb. 20, Deutsche Grammophon will release a CD/DVD companion piece to "Labryinth," dubbed "The Journey And The Labyrinth: The Music Of John Dowland." The project will include a DVD chronicling Sting's fascination with 16th century musician John Dowland and a concert at St. Luke's Church in London.


The audio from that show, which features the Police's "Message in a Bottle" and Robert Johnson's "Hell Hound," is represented on the CD.

F*ck the Police - PJ will play another Euro-tour!

A reunited Police show, or a reunited Pink Floyd show would be enough for me to skip a PJ show. PJ wins every other conflict in schedules. If the Police are touring the US this summer I won't think twice about PJ's tour of Europe.

Pink Floyd - now we're talking...but the Police?? Come on - they are ok when you're above 50 years old...

LOL, I'm not quite there, but probably closer than you think. Of course, so are the boys from PJ. We're all getting a bit older each day!

I really hope this pans out. The Police are a fantastic band, and I would LOVE to see them live!

well i will just say i really don't care when and if they get back together i saw them at least 6 times back in the day .......i'm not going back again !!

i bet the tickets in the usa will be $200 for this...which will really REALLY piss me off.

in the end, though, i'll prolly go...but sting/andy and stewart will be really really small from where i am sitting :(

Pink Floyd, ya that'd beat a PJ show. I can't think of much else though.

The Police opening The Grammy Awards

---

The Police will reunite to open the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 11, The Recording Academy said on Tuesday, fueling speculation that the hit 1980s band is planning a reunion tour.

The five-time Grammy-winning band, led by frontman Sting, with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, split up in 1984 and was last seen playing together in 2003 to commemorate their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The band, known for such hits as "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take," has never performed at the annual telecast for the music industry's most prestigious awards that are given by The Recording Academy.

"The Police join a stellar list of past Grammy Awards opening acts, which includes reunions and once-in-a-lifetime performances," said a statement from the academy.

Members of The Police have so far refused to confirm rumors that the band is planning to reunite in 2007 for dates in Britain and the United States, with this year marking the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne."

Last month the band's label A&M Records, which is owned by Universal Music, said in a statement that they would mark the year somehow.

"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," said the statement.

Other presenters at the Grammy Awards include Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Christina Aguilera, Melissa Etheridge and Stevie Wonder.



was kinda thinking i hope we dont hear roxanne-


but a medley of a few hits would be cool. ( * ghosts in the machine, synchronicity )


i only hope the NA tour itinerary isnt far behind.
