The Police Cancel Gigs On World Tour

Veteran rockers The Police have cancelled two concerts on their world tour due to singer Sting’s “serious voice problems”.

Yesterday’s (October 9th) concert in Antwerp, Belgium and tonight’s gig in Mannheim, Germany have been called off due to Sting suffering from a throat infection.

Concert organisers Live Nation have promised disappointed fans that a rescheduling announcement will be made “as soon as information is possible”.

Sting, who yesterday topped a poll of ‘Worst Lyricists of All Time’ in Blender Magazine, reformed the multi-million selling band for a world tour in May after a 21-year hiatus.

They will return to the UK between October 15 and 20 for gigs at The Manchester Arena, Cardiff Millennium Stadium and Wembley Arena.
