STING AND THE POLICE AT THE BBC

The late 1970s to mid 1980s was a period when, in terms of international success, every little thing The Police did was magic – with Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland enjoying a run of chart-topping singles, best-selling albums and huge concerts all across the world.

When the trio went their separate ways in 1986, it was Sting who then became even more of a wanted man, establishing himself as one of the UK’s most respected singer-songwriters.

This collection of performances from the BBC’s archives celebrates the solo star and the band that brought him to the world's attention in the first place, including the very best of both careers with hits like Roxanne, Fragile, Message in a Bottle, Brand New Day and Every Breath You Take.
