Following comes from the Daily Mail:
Sting is in talks to re-form The Police and tour with the group - 30 years after they were formed. The band, who rank alongside The Rolling Stones and The Beatles among the greats of rock, are considering playing a series of dates in the UK next summer. Consisting of Sting on bass and vocals, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers, the group have been in discussions for months. They became one of the biggest bands of the Eighties with hits including Walking On The Moon, Every Breath You Take, Don't Stand So Close To Me and Message In A Bottle. News that they are re-forming will surprise fans as Sting, 55, has always resolutely opposed the move in the past.
Sources say rehearsals have been pencilled in to take place before Sting begins the February leg of his latest European tour and after Copeland has finished his stint as a judge in the BBC celebrity duet show Just The Two Of Us. The record label, A&M, is believed to be planning a special anniversary release in June and the tour dates would coincide with that. A source said: 'They were intending to announce it in January after all the tour dates had been finalised.
(Thanks to Markus Bonten for pointing this out) 'They are speaking to venues about booking dates in May and June. Everyone who knows about it is incredibly excited because they were a legendary band.' A spokeswoman for A&M confirmed discussions had taken place but denied there were any firm dates for concerts. She said: 'Next year is the 30th anniversary of the release of Roxanne, the first Police single. It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band's catalogue of songs. 'Needless to say, everyone is hopeful the band will support our plans and while early discussions have taken place, nothing has been decided.'
Miles Copeland, the former manager of The Police and brother of Stewart, said: 'It's the 30th anniversary and there has been mention of this for some time, but I can't comment.'
Stewart formed The Police in 1977 with Sting. Miles recognised the power of their blend of pop, punk and reggae and got them a record deal when he heard Roxanne, the first of many worldwide hits.

Ok, the only thing we can gather from this article is, that they have no knowledge of music whatsoever...Sting preparing with Andy and Stewart for a Police tour just before kicking off his lute tour? Gimme a break!!! That would be ridiculous musicwise....
No, I think you are correct Karel with the new Message in a Box 2 set and the DVD "Police around the world"! It is just so that every time, something is published from The Police's back catalog, this rumour of a Police reunion takes shape!

Yes, I think this could be it!
This is getting hotter day by day.
I don't think there has ever been so much talk since their break up.Bands love all these rumours, It's all part of the build up.
It has also been mentioned on a german music tv channel, Andy recently said that he had been jamming with stewart lately,the launch of an official Police website by Miles Copeland in February, the release of inside out recently,and furthermore it's not that difficult for a bassplayer to switch styles, he's been playing old police songs ever since anyway!
We should all be more positive and
if they tour again I will dye my hair blond!

3 words:
Oh My God!
I've heard many rumors like this before, but this smells real. Dunno why, but I would lay money on it being real. It's just the form of the comments and the non-denial 'no comments'.
Anyone wanna start an office pool? :D
