Since 1986, when the Police left the stage as the biggest rock band in the world, Andy Summers has followed his own muse, cultivating the ambient and improvisatory streaks always evident in his distinctive soundprint

The Police

Active since:

The Police were a British rock band formed in London in 1977, consisting of Sting (Gordon Sumner) on lead vocals and bass guitar, Andy Summers on guitar, and Stewart Copeland on drums. They gained prominence during the late 1970s and early 1980s with their distinctive blend of rock, reggae, and punk influences.

Their debut album, Outlandos d'Amour (1978), introduced their unique sound to the world, featuring hits like "Roxanne," which became one of their signature songs. Their second album, Reggatta de Blanc (1979), continued their success with tracks such as "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon." Both albums helped establish their reputation for catchy melodies and innovative arrangements.
