- The Police sold millions of albums worldwide and concerts. By 1983, several critics deemed them "the biggest rock band in the world". In 1984, at the top of their game, the band splintered. Sting then leaves the band in 1985 to pursue a solo career.

They didnt fall, they all made millions and now live an easy life playing for fun
There was a fall?
They called it quits at the top.
The police rose and ruled the world but never fell, but moved on while at the top of the world because of their unique music❤
Ghost in the Machine came out in October, 1981. There's no way it was topping any chart in January, 1981.
Fall? They checked out on top.
They made it to the top and quit at the top too.
Despite The Police's success and the Reunion tour, somehow they feel somewhat "forgotten".
When I think about bands in the 80s, I think of Queen, U2, Duran Duran, Culture Club for eg, rather than the Police and I was a fan of their earlier work.
Fall? The went at the top!
Did Roxanne become popular before Eddie Murphy sang it or after he sang it in 48 hrs?
Most bands dream of having their success. They quit while at the very top. Respectfully of course.
Sting needs to bring those sunglasses out of retirement. I've always loved those things on him
copeland and summers made sting the musician he is, a fact that does not diminish sting’s writing and musical abilities in the slightest; put simply, they gave his songs life. you may argue that sting went on to have a succesful solo career without copeland and summers, but that would depened on what your criteria for musical succes are. for example, some one direction fans believe them to be a more succesful group than the beatles, whoich is clearly ludicrous by any rational metric.
Fall?!
Sometimes I rise… 🙃
Sting without Copeland and Summers is like a neutered, toothless German Shepherd. At least girls like that music.
Could you be more patronising? He has PLENTY of male fans.
The world's biggest band - after Boney M.
By de rivers of babylon ye man blood clot.
Ugh, ripped off video that's vague on some details and just wrong in some assumptions. Better off getting the story from the band members directly, in particular Stewart Copeland's interview with Rick Beato. So much better than this turd of a production.
It’s so stupid. They wanted to do other projects. So what. Gosh so stupid.
So Stewart saying "I certainly didn't feel that way. I thought this is great, I can carry on doing this. Or saying "there's only one a**hole who doesn't want to continue The Police. Very ambiguous.
