The Police are to embark on a final leg of their reunion world tour with 30 more shows across North America, they have announced.
Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland are expected to have earned a total of $340 million when the tour finally concludes.
Nice bit of pocket money…
The new dates kick-off in Ottawa on May 1 and are scheduled to visit a number of cities in the USA that the band have yet to play.
This raft of concerts, which will feature Elvis Costello as support, is set to be the last of the tour, and perhaps the final of the band’s career.

Eco-activist Sting has been criticised by environmental campaigners for creating a huge carbon footprint with his band The Police at the Live Earth concert.
The group reformed last year to tour and made an appearance at the Al Gore organised event in the summer. The aim of the event was to raise awareness and battle climate change.
John Buckley, of Carbonfootprint.com, says, “At Live Earth in New Jersey where the Police played, the biggest emissions weren’t from the concert, it was the fans.”
So it wasn’t really Sting’s fault then?
Hmmm regardless, The Police had been voted the worst offenders of the music industry; with bands such as Babyshambles and Radiohead being deemed the more eco-friendly acts.

The Police, that quintessential 1970’s and 1980’s pop-rock band that made a household name out of Sting, the lead singer of the group who would eventually leave to embark on a stellar and still-thriving solo career, have reunited and you had better believe that you are going to want to be among the hordes of eager fans who are flocking to see this band perform their numerous hits live onstage for the first time in years of eager anticipation and hope!
Highlights of this tour include stops at such venues as Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, New York on October 31 and November 2, as well as Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 3. The band will also play at the Verizon Center in Washington DC on November 5, John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia on November 6, Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario on both November 8 and November 9, RD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on November 11, and Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec on November 12 as well as stints abroad including such locales as the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on February 13, LTU Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany on June 8 and Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom on June 18.
