Report: Police Rehearsing For Tour In Vancouver
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.
