Sting announces `The Police Rehearsals’
LOS ANGELES – The Police, who are reuniting to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, will celebrate their 30th anniversary at the Whisky A Go Go the following day.
To enter the drawing for a spot at “The Police Rehearsals,” fans must be “legacy members” of Sting’s official Web site, Sting.com, the 55-year-old singer announced in a posting Wednesday. Twenty lucky winners will be notified Friday.
“After the event, we would like the winners to each submit to us 250 words that describes their experience of the day รณ we can say with some certainty that none of you will be lost for words!” the announcement said.
Sting fanned speculation of a Police reunion and tour when he told the Television Critics Association last month that he and former bandmates Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers were “talking about” doing something to commemorate their anniversary.
The Police, whose hits include “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take,” will open the Grammys, which will air live on CBS-TV from the Staples Center on Sunday night.
The band broke up in 1984 amid internal conflict. They last performed together in 2003, when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
