As per recent, previously reported speculation, The Police are set to reunite for a performance at the 2007 Grammy Awards next month. Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers, who last performed together in 2003 at their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, will be the opening act at the ceremony in LA on 11 Feb.
Elsewhere in Grammy news, Canadian nominee Michael Buble has said he's boycotting the event because his category will be presented at dinner, not during the live broadcast, and he thinks that sucks.
The singer told The Canadian Press: "They give away our best traditional pop award at a dinner before the Grammys, so I just think that's bullshit. I think it's absolute crap. Our category is now selling way too many records to be given away at a dinner before, so I'm just not going to show up".
The scheduling of his award might not be the only reason Buble won't be attending though. His album 'Caught In The Act' is up against work from the likes of Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson and his idol Tony Bennett, and he reckons he doesn't have a chance of winning. The singer, who appears on the aforementioned Bennett's nominated LP 'Duets: An American Classic', added "Why should I go to the Grammys? Because I'll lose... They might as well have already scratched Tony Bennett's name into the damn thing. I'm not going. I'm on that record that I'm going to lose to, and it'll be the second year in a row that I've lost. I'm not going to go."
