The Police
Originating from London, England, The Police is a rock band that became one of the most famous bands during 1980's due to their fusion of Reggae and Jazz genres into their rock music. The band consists of three band members; Stewart Copeland who is vocalist, drummer and percussionist, Sting who is also the vocalist along with being the bass guitarist of the band while Andy Summers in the guitarist and also the vocalist of the band.
Since the entire band members of the Police are highly technical and proficient in the instruments that they play, hence police is considered to be more than just an average punk rock band. Speaking individually, Sting is known for his intense voice along with his talent of making appealing pop songs, while Andy Summers is known for creating dense sounds and effects through his complex guitar playing techniques and Stewart Copeland had mastered how to play polyrhythms. It was their talent of such high caliber that expressed that future of pop music could be of punk spirit.
Initially Police started off as a Punk Rock band, as the band became more popular, with an aim of bringing something new to their fans, they started experimenting with their music. Even though these experiments kept on going on the part of the band, but the major reason why Police was able to establish such a sound fan base was their mastery over pop single.
Since the band was at the top of their game during 1983 that is why during that period all three band members were enjoying their stardom and fame. However their success story was short lived, as the band disassembled the following year in 1984 due to, what they say; "internal tensions". Later, after the Police was disbanded, Sting got most of the band's fan base towards him and soon became an internationally recognized superstar.
It the night of 49th Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007, when after 23 long years, Police reassembled as they performed all together at the opening act of the Grammy Awards. A day later after their performance at the Grammy Awards, The Police announced that they will be step out for a tour in 2007, and in addition to that they will also be performing on Live Earth Concert in July as well.

As the band was formed Sting who was the bassist and vocalist along with Henry Padovani who was the guitarist, began their rehearsals along with Copeland in January of the same year. The band recorded their debut album in the February of the same year with the title of "Fall Out"/"Nothing Achieving". After the release of their debut album, they went touring in March and April as the support act for Cherry Vanilla, Wayne County and Electric Chairs.
