No one could have predicted the Police would have made it this far in their reunion tour without Stewart Copeland severely injuring Sting. If the band can make it the rest of the way without imploding, guitarist Andy Summers is hinting that the trio might have a new album left in them. “I would see it as a challenge, to make an absolutely brilliant pop album at this stage of our career, and that would be something quite remarkable,” Summers told the Associated Press (the band hasn’t released an album of new material since 1983's Synchronicity). Summers went on to say the trio is more concerned with keeping things on-kilter on the road than exploring the possibility of recording new music, “Right now it is just the tour holding everything together mentally, physically and musically. The tour and the traveling and the playing and the tension you have to keep to do it every night is all-devouring. It is just too much.” So keep your fingers crossed that Copeland can play nice until the tour ends next year.
