The Police ready for Grammys and beyond

We're really close now to the Police reunion. Everything gets underway Sunday (February 11th), when the band kicks off the Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with a rumored performance of "Roxanne." Following that, Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland will move over to the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood on Monday (February 12th), where they'll play live and take questions from an invited audience at an event that's being called "The Police Rehearsals" -- and all indications are that the reunion tour will be made official at that time.

The Police haven't performed in public since March 2003, when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

Summers told us he's got no issues with the fact that Sting left the Police for a solo career: "I think he made, you know, what was the right decision for him. You know, I don't point any fingers at him for doing that. You know, we'd had phenomenal success... You know, he wanted to do his own thing and, and he actually proved it, because he has become a very successful male solo singer. Now, a lot of guys who leave big bands, that's not true, or they don't make it, and then they have to do the reunion thing, you know?"
