80's Bands "The Year Of Rock Reunions" Tour

Reunited rock trio The Police announced they would launch a world tour in May, more than 20 years after frontman Sting angered his bandmates by leaving for a solo career.

The group gave fans a taste of what's to come on Sunday night, when they performed their breakthrough hit "Roxanne" at the opening of the Grammy Awards ceremony.

Sting, 55, guitarist Andy Summers, 64, and drummer Stewart Copeland, 54, will kick off the tour on May 28 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

So far dates have been set for North America only; the band will play Europe in the autumn, and shows in Mexico, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand are also anticipated.

This year is shaping up as the year of rock reunions. Phil Collins has returned to British art-rock combo Genesis for a monthlong summer tour of Europe, while singer David Lee Roth is back with rock band Van Halen after a two-decade estrangement.

Additionally, the Australian-New Zealand band Crowded House plans to end a 10-year hiatus once a replacement is found for late drummer Paul Hester.
