THE POLICE CANCEL FURTHER SHOWS OVER STING ILLNESS

Veteran rockers THE POLICE have disappointed fans after they were forced to cancel two shows in the U.K.

STING

The newly-reformed band have postponed two gigs in Manchester, England this week (ends21Oct07) after bassist/singer Sting - real name Gordon Sumner - fell ill with a throat infection last week (begs08Oct07).

A spokesperson for the star says, "Sting is suffering from a throat infection, which has forced the band to postpone concerts. We hope to have a rescheduling announcement shortly."

The Police pulled performances in Antwerp, Belgium and Mannheim, Germany on 9 and 10 October (07) due to Sting's illness.

The gigs are part of a reunion world tour that kicked off in May (07) - 21 years after the band's last major live performance.
