Every little thing they do is indeed magic, and Singapore will experience it in February when The Police play their only concert in South-east Asia.

Not content with their five No 1 albums, six Grammy awards and selling over 50 million albums, The Police decided on one more hurrah by reuniting earlier this year for a world tour.

Frontman and bassist Sting, guitarist Andy Summers, and drummer Stewart Copeland will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Feb 4, said event promoter Lushington Entertainments Pte Ltd in a statement on Wednesday.

Last month, respected music industry magazine Billboard recognised the band’s reunion tour as the top selling and highest grossing tour of this year, with ticket sales of over US$171 million ($247 million) so far from sold-out shows around the world.

One of the definitive rock groups of the ’70s and ’80s, the band got back together to mark the 30th anniversary of their classic hit Roxanne and also of the founding of the band.

The Police were formed in 1977 and became international stars following a string of critical and commercial hits such as So Lonely, Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic and De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.

They broke up in the early 1980s with lead singer Sting going on to become a major star on his own.

It will be their first concert in Singapore although Sting performed here in January 2005.
