Copeland relieved of blogging duties

Stewart Copeland has been relieved of his job as The Police's online blogger after poking fun at Sting in an early attempt.

Guitarist Andy Summers admits he and Sting were far from amused when drummer Copeland grumbled about the reformed trio's early shows online, stating the band was "totally at sea" and the frontman was a "petulant pansy".

Summers says: "I think that was just cabin fever after having been in the same hotel room for three weeks. Stewart thought he was going to be the blogger on this tour. That ended pretty quickly."
