Sting and the Police at the BBC

In the late-1970s to mid-1980s, Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland of the Police enjoyed a run of chart-topping singles, best-selling albums and huge concerts all across the world. When the trio went their separate ways four decades ago, it was Sting who established himself as one of the UK's most respected singer-songwriters. This collection of performances from the BBC's archives celebrates both the solo star and the band that brought him to our attention in the first place, with hits like Roxanne, Fragile, Message in a Bottle, Brand New Day and Every Breath You Take.
