The Police Mug Shots

We're just hours from seeing if the The Police beat the odds with their Grammy appearance, and less than a day away from the big press conference (and performance) at the Whiskey A Go Go, which you can watch at thepolicerhearsals.com. And all of this is marvelous excuse to post the band's new press shot.

It only took them 20+ years, but they learned to smile! They've aged better than any '70s mega group we can think of. It's all so exciting! Too bad Andy and Stewart are gonna get into a fist fight ten minutes into the press conference and call the whole thing off. See ya in a few.

Sting had a nose job, and I think they want a little overboard with the airbrushing in the second pic.

I'm still looking forward to this, I just with they would play something different tonight besides "Roxanne" and "Every Breath You Take", but the probably won't.

c'mon, gummers. if you're going to gloat about going to the damn press conference/CLUB SHOW, at least get it right: it was Sting and Stewart who fought all the time.

to commenters: Sting had a nose job, like, right after Regatta de Blanc came out (1979-80ish).

is it just me, or does Andy look an awful lot like Zach Braff in the new promo shot?

it was indeed sting and stewart. and it was musical a lot of the time. with stewart always overdubbing a million extra hihats on everything.

Godzilla, I was thinking the same thing.

But more like if Zach Braff and Martin Short had a kid.

Andy Summers just turned 64 years old. He looks about 28 in that new photo.

Actually Sting had a nose job right after the Synchronicty Tour (1984). Thought it's not like he had a tremendous honker to begin with.
