Stewart Copeland

Reunited after twenty-three years with his bandmates in The Police when they opened the Grammy Awards on February 11, 2007, Stewart Copeland counts himself fortunate to have been a founder of the most played and successful trio of the 1980s. The Police's reunion tour, which began in Vancouver in May 2007 and ended in New York's Madison Square Garden in August 2008, went on to be the third biggest tour of all time—grossing some 387 million dollars. Recipient of the Hollywood Film Festival's first Outstanding Music in Film Visionary Award, and a 2003 inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Copeland has been responsible for some of the film world's most innovative and groundbreaking scores. His career includes the sale of more than sixty million records, which have won him five Grammys and numerous other awards. His ongoing travels in search of exotic rhythms and musical celebrations have taken him all the way around the world—from the polo fields of Cirencester to the dives of Havana, from the steaming Congo to the remotest regions of the Hollywood jungles. Copeland is the father of seven children. He lives with his wife and three daughters.
