The Police call it a career
After playing for nearly 4-million fans over 150 shows during their reunion tour, Sting, Stewart and Andy finally played out their last notes together as The Police last night in New York's Madison Square Garden.
According to Rolling Stone, the night got off choppy with a rough cover of "Sunshine of Your Love" and finished quickly, with the the show lasting just under two hours.
"It's been a huge honor to get back with my old friends," Sting told the crowd. "The triumph of this tour is that we haven't strangled each other -- not to say it hasn't crossed my mind."
