no dosn't sound like it :mrgreen:

This year, I really want to focus on playing. I’ve got another band thing coming up in the summer that I think is going to be really interesting. I can’t say anything about it just yet, but an announcement will be made.

As to other projects, there is the possibility of a really interesting band later this year


really interesting band

announcement will be made.

ummmmmmmm what could it be ????????





later in the interview

SKIP: When I asked Stewart about the possibility of The Police doing something again, he surprisingly left the door open: “No matter what any of the three of us says about the way we feel now…it’s too powerful”. What are your thoughts on doing something as The Police again?

ANDY: I would pretty much go along with Stewart on that. I always think it’s unfinished business. Why does it have to end? People always want to hear the band and want to hear those songs. We haven’t killed each other. We made it through the tour. It was the third biggest tour of all time, only because we decided not to go on forever, otherwise it would have been the biggest. It was just a phenomenal success on all levels.

I don’t know, we’ll see. To me, I don’t think it’s wishful thinking…it is just too powerful to think it’s over. I don’t know. I’m not sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. Just getting on with the next project – so to speak.

Great article! I did not come out of it thinking the Police was the band he was talking about, though...
Don't mean to be a party pooper, sorry!

I think the only way the lads "come back" again is to record new material and tour behind it and I don't think Sting has any intention to do that. I also think recent history proves he may not have any rock/pop composing left in him.
