Sting Sued By Band Members
•
Limerick City, Ireland
Two members of the Police - guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland - have issued proceedings in London'a High Court against Gordon Sumner (better known as Sting), alleging that they were underpaid for their contributions.
The trio who were formed in 1977, scored hits with "Message In A Bottle", "Roxanne", "Every Breath You Take", "Next To You", "Walking On The Moon", "Can't Stand Losing You" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" before disbanding in 1984.
During a seven-year career, the band sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
