This has been sent to me by renauta, this is an article in the Daily Mail.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... p;ito=1490

This is not really eulogistic for Sting, but what's the part of truth in here ?
When you read for example "Among various tales of infighting, he recollected how Copeland had once broken one of Sting's ribs in a brawl just hours before they were due on stage", we all know it was just an accident after having some fun !
About money (a great part of this article), we all know that The Police tour will be lucrative, and that Sting will be richer, but business has always be and will always be a part of the whole shebang !
The Police barely reformed, muckracker journalists are back again !

(I'm not trying to defend Sting, probably the journalist has good sources, but this kind of stuff is getting on my nerves !)

Not if he works for the Mail, he doesn't. That paper is like Fox News as read by the Gumbies from Monty Python.

heh, wow, thats one catty article indeed!

I could care less "why", I'm sure Stewart is happy to go out and beat some drums even if they have little sting faces on them. :o

I’ve never been Sting’s biggest fan and I certainly wouldn’t jump to his defence in most instances but that article is just typical of the misogynistic /narrow view The Mail has of the world. Great, Trudie Styler’s shopping habits are the only reason for The Police reforming, the manipulative spouse who controls her husbands artistic output purely to fulfil her love of the designer label. If she is responsible for getting Sting to make the call to Stew & Andy. Well done her! Pity she wasn’t able to persuade him earlier.

I guessing maybe the UK press has always treated her as gold digger... Personally, I don't know or care. I think Sting's motives are legitimate based on what we've seen.

I don't believe It... I don't imagine Sting and Trudie as arrogants and materialistic people...this stuff is based in gossip... you know at entertainment industry gossip is the first source of news....

Besides, if you like to be in the peak of news the best is that everybody talks about you, no matter if you be sell as a negative one... and for media it sell.

I read something like this yesterday (probably the same article?) and the thing that flips me upside down is that after 10 years of Stewart and Andy trying to get Sting to come back, the article claims that Sting has spent the past 6 months begging Stewart and Andy to get back together (??????)

:shock: :shock:

I like reading the part about Sting agreeing to an equal 1/3 of the band payout as opposed to a larger cut, along with letting Stewart and Andy pick the songs for the tour... would love to think that this is true, but judging by the rest of that article, I'm really not sure what to believe there...

I forgive Sting from anything just for one reason:

He is again with The Police, and the band will do a world tour :!:

:wink:
