EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to January 1982, when The Police embarked on their tour across America. In this snapshot, we see Sting (real name Gordon Sumner), the charismatic lead vocalist and bassist of the British rock band, striking a pose for the camera. Formed in London in 1977, The Police quickly gained global popularity with their unique blend of rock, punk, reggae, and jazz influences. With hit albums like "Outlandos d'Amour" and "Reggatta de Blanc" as well as chart-topping singles including "Roxanne" "Message In A Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take" they became icons of the late 1970s and early 1980s music scene. Alongside Sting stood Stewart Copeland on drums and Andy Summers on guitar. Although guitarist Henry Padovani was part of the band from January to August 1977 before they achieved fame, he departed shortly after. Captured by Ron Burton on January 25th, 1982, this photograph encapsulates the energy and talent that defined The Police's performances during their American tour. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when this iconic trio dominated stages worldwide with their infectious sound.
