The Police was a three-piece British pop band which came to prominence in the wake of the punk rock phenomenon. The group was formed in 1977 by Sting (bassist and lead singer), Andy Summers[?] (guitarist), and Stewart Copeland[?] (drummer) and their initial success came from the 1978 single "Roxanne".
They released their last album, Synchronicity, in 1983, which is widely regarded as a classic. Notable songs from that album include "Every Breath You Take" and "Wrapped Around your Finger". Although there was never an official break-up, each band member gradually began his own solo career. A short-lived attempt to reunite in 1986 produced a re-recording of their song "Don't Stand So Close to Me". On March 10, 2003, The Police were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
