ROXANNE - THE POLICE STUNNED BY TOUR SELL OUTS

Reformed trio THE POLICE have been rocked by fans who have turned their upcoming world tour into a sell-out because the bandmates didn't think they were still so popular. Most dates for the ROXANNE hitmakers' world tour, which begins in Vancouver, Canada on 28 May (07), sold out within an hour of going on sale. And, in many cases, the group had to upgrade from arenas to stadiums - to cope with the demand for tickets. Guitarist ANDY SUMMERS says, "I was shocked, I have to admit. I thought we'd do alright on ticket sales but I never expected such a high demand. "We were booked to play arenas on many of the dates but we ended up having to upgrade to stadiums. It's pretty daunting I have to admit."
