Farewell Concert for The Police!
Musician Sting said the Police will bid a musical goodbye to Britain with a farewell concert in London’s Hyde Park on June 29.
In a statement Sting said:
“England is where we began our career, in London. It has a special place in my heart. I’m English … We’ve done over 100 dates. But we’re still together, still friends,”
The musical band, was on the scene in the late 1970s and early ’80s with a string of hits, including “Roxanne,” “Message in a Bottle” and “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.”
When Sting was asked if this really was the end for the pop-rock trio, he said:
“Yeah, I think it’s right. We’ve been saved from the nostalgia in a bad sense because I think the band sounds fairly contemporary. We don’t sound like an old tribute band. Considering the songs were written 25 to 30 years ago, they still, to me and most of the audience, sound like today,”
The Police will have their final British appearance at the “Hard Rock Calling” concert in Hyde Park, and wrapping up their reunion with a final New York venue.
