Police reunion will start in Vancouver?

The members of reforming rock supergroup The Police will rehearse for their upcoming reunion tour in Vancouver, Canada, according to local reports.

Details of the rehearsals and the tour are being kept a closely-guarded secret but a source close to the Message in a Bottle hitmakers has revealed to Vancouver's CFMI classic rock radio station that the trio plans to launch their comeback at the Grammy Awards next month.

According to the radio station's website, The Police will open the Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles just before announcing full plans to tour the world.

And, with frontman Sting booked to tour Europe promoting his new album of lute music from 18 February to 12 March, it's likely the reunion plans and rehearsals will be complete before he hits the road.

The group's proposed summer tour will be their first in more than 20 years.
