I had seen Sting solo three times, first three tours. Oddly enough all at Blossom. Second time was the night after I saw Pink Floyd. Don't remember openers the first two tours but the third time he had some percussionist named Vinx opening.
My friend and his (then) 12 year old came to the reunion show with me. Friend asks if I think there will be any new Police material, and it didn't take long for me to answer no. Sting's not interested. All the old songs were played in the arrangements he's been using for years. Sting's not going to write a rock record now. He's got his Broadway show, and he toured with Paul Simon.
The closest solo Sting's done to anything loud would have been his remake of Demolition Man.
Copeland's still writing operas and Summers has a new band, Circa Zero. At this point, do they really want to be Sting's back up band again and not have any of their stuff on a new Police album?
