One of the most unique bands to come out of the ’80s is The Police.
The legendary trio, consisting of drummer Stuart Copeland, guitarist Andy Summers, and bassist Sting, cemented themselves as rock legends over a run of five albums. The band produced four consecutive chart-topping albums in the U.K., and a legendary chart-topping U.S. album in “Synchronicity.”
That album produced the band’s most successful song, along with one of the most successful tunes of the entire decade. “Every Breath You Take” is so popular, that it covers somewhere between a quarter and a third of Sting’s entire income. The song is huge.
Recently, The Police posted an exciting announcement about the legendary track on their social media. They wished the song a Happy Birthday after an iconic 42 years.
Fans took to the comments to join the celebration and send their birthday wishes to the song.
“Happy birthday, best song ever.”
“Happy birthday my favorite song.”
“Changed the rock genre forever! My favorite band.”
No matter how old the song is, it will forever be captivating and engaging audiences.
