The Police Raid Grammys

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are The Police and WE ARE BACK!" the words every fan of the legendary 80's band always hoped to hear and finally did this past Sunday night at the 49th annual Grammy Awards. Sting and Co. opened the awards ceremony with a great version of their first hit single "Roxannae." It looked as if they had never even departed from each other for over 20 years, drummer Stuart Copeland had a smile on his face as if he was an eight year old child on Christmas morning eagerly awaiting that one gift he had asked his parents or Santa for. Copeland indeed get his gift and the band that launched what we know as Alternative will be hitting the road this summer on a full out tour making stops in Vegas, New York, Boston as well as a headlining slot at the Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee. For more info on The Police reunion see my Jan 2007 post "The Police, back on Patrol?!" Below is a video, just in case you missed it from their Grammy performance.
