Call back the cops

Having lassoed the best-selling classical record last year by reinvigorating the lute, Sting now seems to be turning his attention to bringing new life to another long-forgotten endeavour considered by many to be better left in the past:

A Police reunion.

Fuel to the rumour-pyre has been given by the heavy hint A&M dropped when announcing a bunch of DVD stuff to mark the 30th anniversary of the band recouping ("breaking America"):

"It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band's catalog of songs. Needless to say, everyone is hopeful the band will support our plans and while early discussions have taken place, nothing has been decided."

We imagine the main sticking point will be trying to persuade someone that calling the new band "Gordon Sumner, Sting out of the Police, and the Police" isn't going to work.

JUdging by what's on BBC1 at the moment, it doesn't look like it would take seasoned dignityphobe Stewart Copeland out of retirement...

Ahem. I'll try that again:

Judging by what's on BBC1 at the moment, it doesn't look like it would take much to tempt seasoned dignityphobe Stewart Copeland out of retirement...
