who were they?

  • The Police's last official concert was on March 4, 1984 in Australia

Band members

Andy Summers Guitarist Born: December 31, 1942 in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire

The other “version” of the band

Started in 1951

At this time the guitarist was Henry Padovani. However with time they figured that Padovani's style didn't fit in, which created a not so good atmosphere.

In this first version of the band Andy wasn't in the picture.

Their Success

The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

They took part of the British

new wave

Their rock style was influenced by the punk, pop, reggae, and jazz genres.

Their best known album was their fifth, "Synchronicity" which includes songs such as "Every breath you take" or "wrapped around your finger" which became worldwide recognized, especially the first one, which eventually became the "anthem" of the band.
