The Police To Split Again

Reformed 80s pop rock legends The Police are to split again – but they’ll do one last landmark gig before they say goodbye.

It will happen in New York and will be in aid of arts programming for the city's public television stations.

Sting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers reunited for a world tour last May .

Since then the tour’s grossed more than $171 million from 53 shows seen by more than 1.5 million people.

The band will say farewell to Britain with a concert in London's Hyde Park on June 29.

The New York City concert will end the tour, though a date and venue have not been released.

The band said in a statement: "We kicked off our very first American tour at CBGB's in 1978 and this summer, 30 years later, our journey will come full circle as we play our final show here in New York City."
 
"We are honoured to partner with public television and have a deep respect for their commitment to arts and culture."
