Police's Reunion Is Now Impossible, Stewart Copeland Reveals Why

Nearly four decades after The Police broke up without a word, Stewart Copeland ruled out the possibility of their reunion.

The Police ultimately became one of the most famous rock bands in the 1970s and 1980s but ended up splitting. Fans never saw its breakup coming, especially since it had famous love songs, including "Every Breath You Take," "Roxanne," and "Message in a Bottle."

Amid the reunions of other bands, Stewart Copeland does not approve The Police reunion.

Why The Police Members Cannot Reunite

In 2003 and 2007, Copeland, Andy Summers, and Sting reconnected for special shows. Despite having the chance to do it all over again, the drummer ruled out the potential reunion with the bandmates.

In a new interview with the Daily Express, Copeland recalled the 1980s experience with The Police as something "poisonous."

"We were as big as a band could be, and everyone thought we were three golden gods with heavenly lights shining from our eyes. But in that studio, we were three pricks with no respect for each other. We were abusive and we drove each other nuts," he said.

Copeland clarified that the abuse was not physical. Instead, the members reportedly had nothing to offer but silence. All of them reportedly mourned the relationship they once had.

The Police's remake album, "Police Deranged for Orchestra," will arrive soon. According to the drummer, he realized how good Stint is as a songwriter while studying the band's songs for the orchestra. He admitted not seeing it before as all he ever saw was the back of the frontman's head.

He explained that they would get along as long as they do not reunite on a stage or a studio due to the bandmates' different approaches to music.

Although having a reunion will not be a great idea, Copeland declared he would never say never to working with his former bandmates again.

Stewart Copeland Releases 1^st Single From Remake Album

The Police's "Police Deranged for Orchestra" will be released on June 23. Before its arrival, Stewart exclusively shared the first single from the orchestral re-arrangement album, introducing "Every Breath You Take."

He told GRAMMY.com that he worked with Eímear Noone and Craig Stuart to create the project. As he has always thought that the song was not the most fun track to play live, Copeland decided to have professionals work on it.

"And the orchestral interlude was actually conceived of for a stage moment that actually didn't really work. They were going to start playing ["Every Breath"] and then I walk out, but that looks stupid. So, [the song's prelude's] just there as an artifact, but it's actually darned beautiful," he went on.
