The reunion tour for the Police was the leading tour in 2007, with gross sales surpassing $212 million. According to the figures reported by Billboard Boxscore, the worldwide tour that many thought wouldn’t ever happen ended up selling over 1.8 million tickets.

Kenny Chesney, Bon Jovi and the Police. However this time around the show will be rolling out on a number of different related platforms and channels, including MTV.com, CMT and VH1. Ushering the 2007 edition in will be Bon Jovi. The series begins on MTV on June 22. Then on the next two nights, CMT and VH1 will be airing an “Unplugged” version that is tailored specifically for the audiences on those two channels.

After only two songs into the Police’s debut Vancouver B.C. concert of their reunion tour, Sting was feeling comfortable enough around his old fellow band members to joke around. He laughed that they hadn’t played together for twenty five years, and he wanted to introduce their band. Not that any introduction would be needed for the summer’s most highly anticipated rock tour, a tour that reunites Sting with Andy Summers, guitarist, and Stewart Copeland, drummer. Sting said, smiling, Andy meet Stewart, to the 64 year old Andy Summers. Unlike the last tour for the Police in 1983 rife with inter-band tensions, Sting’s quip brought smiles to everyone’s faces.

The Police, in what will undoubtedly be a run of historic proportions, is embarking on a worldwide tour. It is their first in 23 years. The tour starts in Vancouver at GM Arena on May 28 and will continue to the end of 2007 with the band playing in stadiums and arenas internationally. The Police will also be the headliners for the Bonnaroo festival on June 16 in Manchester, Tennessee.

The day following their very spirited “Roxanne” performance that brought the audience at the Grammy Awards to their feet, tour date details have been announced by the Police regarding the band’s first tour in over two decades. The tour schedule for the band was announced in Los Angeles which was preceded by an invitation only special set webcast live at the Whiskey. The details were announced by Arthur Fogel, the Live Nation Chairman for Global Music, after The Police had played a few songs. Ticket sales for three shows in Canada begin this weekend.

More and more it’s looking like Sting is set to reunite with The Police, his original band. Signs are so strong and there are enough available clues that even Colonel Mustard would be able to figure this one out. Here is a clue from yesterday: Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, former Police band members, were guests along with their families at a birthday party in Malibu for Trudie Styler, Sting’s wife. Their appearance at the party caused a big stir.
