Copeland is bringing his critically acclaimed The Police Deranged for Orchestra show to the UK for the first time.
He'll play a one-off concert at the London Coliseum on April 28, 2023, with tickets on general sdale this Friday, November 18 at 10am, and a pre-sale available a day earlier.
The blurb promises versions of hits like 'Roxanne', 'Don't Stand Too Close To Me' and 'Message in a Bottle' like you've never heard them before.
The Police formed in 1977 by Sting, Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers.
They released five bit albums before breaking up in 1986, before a one-off reunion at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2003 and a full reunion tour in 2007-08.
Since the group disbanded, Copeland has had a successful solo career, primarily composing scores for movies including Wall Street, TV shows like The Equalizer, and the Spyro video games series.
