Summer Run To Be The Police's Final Tour

 
February 13, 2008, 6:00 AM ET

Ray Waddell, Nashville
The Police will take one more victory lap through North America on their massively successful reunion tour before 
calling it quits for good, sources close to the tour tell Billboard.com.

The Police -- Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland -- will play another 30-odd dates in May and July in North 
America, with 15 previously announced European concerts sandwiched between in June. Elvis Costello & the Imposters 
will open the entire run of North American dates, which wraps the first week in August.

This final leg will play primarily amphitheaters with a few arenas, beginning May 1 in Ottawa. These will be the first-ever 
shed dates for the Police, as the amphitheater network present today was largely non-existent during the band's first 
go-round in the early 1980s. No festivals or stadiums will be part of the route.

Close to half the dates will be in markets not played last year in North America, where the tour began last May. The 
current leg finishes in Hawaii over the weekend.

These dates will be the last time the band performs together as the Police -- ever. But it has been a lucrative reunion, 
as the tour will likely end up in the $340 million gross range, with attendance north of three million. That would make 
it one of the top five highest-grossing tours of all time.

The Police reunion tour is promoted by Arthur Fogel, chairman of TNA International, the global touring arm of Live 
Nation. It is produced by RZO Productions.

The Police Call It A Career At New York Show


August 08, 2008 , 12:00 AM ET 

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
The reunited Police took a final bow last night (Aug. 7) at New York's Madison Square Garden, capping a 151-show tour that will 
finish as the third highest-grossing of all time with $358,825,665 at the box office, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Tickets could only be obtained via donation to local public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21.

Bassist/vocalist Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland began the proceedings with a surprise cover 
of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." Afterward, the New York Police Department band augmented normal set-opener "Message 
in a Bottle."

There was only an intermittent amount of sentimentality to the show, with Sting at one point telling the crowd, "It's been a huge 
honor to get back with my good friends. The real triumph of this tour is that we haven't strangled each other -- that doesn't 
mean it hadn't crossed my mind."

But for the men on stage, it was clearly special. Sting's daughters danced with him on stage during "Every Little Thing She 
Does Is Magic," and a grinning Sting got so close to Summers as to whisper in his ear while eating up his solo on "So Lonely."
 

Another twist was saved for the encore, which began with a dexterous run through Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." Just prior, the 
video screens revealed that the heavily bearded Sting was being shaved backstage, while simultaneously getting a manicure, 
pedicure and massage.

The final song was the breakneck "Next to You," one last reminder of the English band's punk-era roots. At its conclusion, Sting, 
Summers and Copeland bowed, hugged and jogged off the stage with smiles on their faces, while the proverbial Fat Lady sang 
and the Looney Tunes theme "That's All Folks" played through the speakers.

The Police's tour, the band's first performances since 1986, began May 28, 2007, in Vancouver and moved 3,300,912 tickets from 
146 shows, plus five festival plays, according to tour producer Live Nation. 

The final gross puts it only behind the Rolling Stones’ 2005-2007 A Bigger Bang tour ($558 million), and U2’s 2005-2007 Vertigo
tour ($389 million), and ahead of the Stones’ 1994-95 Voodoo Lounge tour ($320 million), according to Boxscore.

The tour, which received top honors at the Billboard Touring Conference & Awards last November, was produced by Live Nation 
Global Touring chairman Arthur Fogel, and Bill Zysblat, partner at RZO Productions. It will be chronicled on the live CD/DVD "The 
Police: Certifiable," due Oct. 7 exclusively through Best Buy.

"Clearly, they're one of the biggest bands of all time and this tour has just proven how strong an act they are around the world," 
Fogel tells Billboard. "I think they truly enjoyed confirming the legacy of the music and the band."
