Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Sting bade farewell to their legions of fans for the last time ever in New York City on August 7, 2008 at Madison Square Garden.

It was one of the pinnacles of a reunion tour which began when The Police re-formed the year prior. The concert -- the Police's final ever -- included songs from their massive catalog of hits including 'Don't Stand So Close To Me', 'King Of Pain', and 'Walking On The Moon' as well as all-time classics like 'Roxanne' and 'Every Breath You Take.'

The show was a fundraiser for PBS, all of whose proceeds were donated to the Public Broadcaster.

Since the tour's conclusion, Stewart took a brief break before embarking on several new challenges and endeavors. First up is Stewart's autobiography "Strange Things Happen: Life with The Police, Polo, and Pygmies." Based partly on Stewart's humorous and telling message board forum on stewartcopeland.net, Stewart's Dinner Tales, the book will cover much of Stewart's life in and out of The Police. It is expected to hit bookstores on October 6, 2009 and will be published by HarperStudio.

Copeland will also be composing a new piece of music to be performed with red fish blue fish, a University of California, San Diego resident percussionist ensemble. The piece has been specially commissioned for La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest, which will take place on Aug. 21, 2009.

Set for 2010 is Stewart's next "serious" musical foray, which will be composing a percussion concerto for the world music percussion group, D'Drum, to be performed in Dallas with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Looks like Aug 21, 2009 should be a date that the left coasters need to watch.
