Stewart Copeland \u2013 best known as the drummer of The Police<\/a> \u2013 has announced his debut solo tour of Australia, bringing his spoken-word show Have I Said Too Much? down under next January. The storytelling show will see the acclaimed and influential drummer sharing stories from across his nearly 50-year career, with opportunities for fans to submit their own questions during the talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand for this intimate new show has surpassed my expectations,\u201d said Copeland in a press statement. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to return to Australia & New Zealand next year and share the stories of my life with even more fans.\u201d He will be joined by Perth-based radio presenter Sarah Tout, who will serve as the host and master of ceremonies for all four of Copeland\u2019s Australian events.<\/p>\n

With this announcement, all three former members of The Police have either recently visited Australia or are in the process of returning. Lead vocalist and bassist Sting<\/a> toured the country in 2023, and is set to return next year to perform his stage musical The Last Ship exclusively at Brisbane\u2019s QPAC (the Queensland Performing Arts Centre) in the Glasshouse Theatre next April.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Andy Summers<\/a>, meanwhile, toured his multimedia show The Cracked Lens + A Broken String\u00a0\u2013 which, as its title suggests, blends Summers\u2019 photography with his guitar playing \u2013 last September. The show consisted of Summers telling stories from across his 40-year-plus career, as well as playing a mix of his solo compositions and some Police songs. Accompanying him visually was series of photographs that Summers had taken over the years.<\/p>\n

The band have been back in the headlines recently regarding legal action being taken over the royalties for their back catalogue. As reported by the BBC<\/a>, both Summers and Copeland have united to sue Sting for allegedly underpaying them each by roughly \u00a31.5 million (roughly AUD$3086265). Sting\u2019s lawyers, however, have argued that the guitarist and drummer have potentially been overpaid.<\/p>\n
