If reports are to be believed, the Police tour is largely down to Trudi Styler (Mrs Sting) wanting to be kept in the manner to which she has become accustomed, and Sting's lute-playing wasn't entirely likely to accomplish that.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Ahhh, Sting.
Born as a prat.
Lives as a prat.
Will probably die as a prat.
(wait for it...)
NEXT!

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Ahhhh The Police. Three blokes who the entire world know hate each other are reuniting once more for our benefit. Bless 'em
Now, if you actually go and watch Da Poh-leece maaaan and close your eyes your going to hear Stinge's voice singing 'Roxxxxx-aannnnnnne you don't have to stick a message up a bottle cos I can't stand losing yooooooou" - you won't actually care whose hitting the drums or strumming the geetar.
But Ramone you scouse misery arse - that's THE POLICE up there, they helped forge the sound of the 1980's blah bah blah blah.
Bollocks, since the Police split up, Sting's been whoring out there 'hit singles' tour after tour in different guises without shame. So, it's not like they've actually been anywhere at all. Much like going to see the Sisters - or most bands were the 'voice' of the band is present. After a while you lose interest in what's going on either side of the singer.
If Aerosmith lost Steven Tyler and replaced him with some retard who sounded nothing like him but kept Whitford, Perry and the other two (Bert and Ernie) you'd notice that Tyler was missing ( no whooping and hollering and that oversized mouth) . But if Tyler turned up with four douche bags behind him and they rolled out all their hits you'd still smile and sing along ( Ok, maybe just me then) .
I've just looked up Sting on Wikipedia and there was a huge picture of a womans lower genital region - I'm not quite sure what there trying to imply ?

Herrings, the lot of 'em.

Sting - So bland, so smug. Always hated the guy. 
He's strangely orange, so I'm going for smoked haddock.
Other pet hate - while I'm at it - The Stereophonics. So bland, so so bland ...

I kinda like the Police, in the same way that I like the Clash and Brian Adams anno "Summer of 69".
It's nice music to dance to and to singalong with.
Also, "Fields of Gold" gives me goosebumps all over. The guy might not be one of the World Wonders, but he's just a nice performer.
At least he tries to sing, something which cannot be said by, for example, mistah Lou Reed or mistah Van Morisson. The former seems to use a kind of Warhol-from-da-hood-street-rap, the latter just sings along with his phone dialtone.
Oh, and you could easily swap Steven Tyler with Mick Jagger any day. The wrinkles stay the same, and you could swear it's just Steven on a good hair day having a bad cold.
Not to start some favoritism towards Sting or something, but there are worse wankers in Music-land.
IZ.

From Digital Spy today-
Steven Tyler is on the brink of quitting Aerosmith, according to sources.
The singer is reportedly frustrated by the atmosphere within the group, with his personal relationship with the other band members currently at a low point.
A source has apparently spoken to the frontman's daughter Liv Tyler, and told the New York Post: "Her dad is going to announce he's leaving Aerosmith soon because he can't take how the rest of the band is treating him. She said they don't appreciate him."
Tyler's daughter has denied the claims completely however, with her representative stating: "Liv never said anything about her father leaving Aerosmith."

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
The only cheques I've left unsigned
>From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

I quite liked 'em....
‎"We will wear some very loud shirts. We will wear some very wrong trousers."
Have to say I like the first two albums and a few singles afterwards. I might even go and see them
1. Cos I WANT TO SEE Andy Summers rockin, out at 65 and messing with 65 effects pedals.
2. cOS I think Stewart Copeland is a great drummer
3. Cos I want to see them do Sychronicity II which must be one of the most bonkers songs ever
4 . I want to see if sting can do Roxanne in a very high voice
and
5. He might play his lute
I also am very keen at present on, Rhianna feat Jay Z, 'Umbrella' an extremely hard ditty.

The Police weren't always crap.
There are some blinding songs on the first 2 lps, but unfortunately, these were balanced with some real stinkers.
& by the time they got to Synchronicty, they could only cobble together 1 good song on the whole album.
Sting (solo) is a total tool & although he may be a good performer, so big haity deal.
You can be a good performer, but that is a complete waste if you are just going to perform sh!t (albeit well performed sh!t).
Can't stand the bloke really.
I remember documentary around the Zenyatta Mondatta era (great name huh ) & he already came across as a bit of a spanner.
Stuart Copeland, however, was great & he is a fcuking good drummer.
Still, I guess their bank managers finally said "enough's enough" & they need a little financial top up right?
I can't bear to think of the poor dears having to root through bins to survive, so I hope the tour offers them some small payback
