Police guitarist Andy Summers says he can't see a Police reunion ever happening.
"I don't think Sting has any interest" Andy tells Undercover News. "Of course it would be great but no-one is going to ask him and I don't think he has any interest. I think he has gone to another place".
The Police, considered by many to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time, actually played their last show together in Melbourne, Australia. "Yeah it was" Andy says. "It was sort of the official end because we did get back together and do those six dates with the Amnesty tour in '86. I remember that gig very well. It was a poignant moment because we all knew we were breaking up but the audience didn't know".
They also regrouped and played live for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year but it was a one-off. "I felt like okay, it was three days, I would indulge in it and enjoy it" he says. "Stuart (Copeland) lives near me in LA. He and I got together and had a great couple of weeks. We ended up playing everything by The Police together because we felt like it. I went over to his house a couple of times and we got it all together. We met Sting in New York and rehearsed for a couple of days and then it was the show. It was a nice feeling all around on the night. We were in the Waldorf Astoria. There were about 3,000 people there. Everybody I had ever known in my life was there. Of course, the American thing, everyone was telling us we were the greatest thing since sliced bread all night long. Of course the icing on the cake was when we got on stage and took it home as the headliners. That was that, then it was back to reality".
Reality for Andy now is his jazz band and a new album 'Earth + Sky'. The album is released independently through The Basement. Summers is in planning stages to bring his band back live to Australia.
