New York, NY - With Mayor Bloomberg, The Police announce their final show will be in NYC.  This will conclude their 'retirement' tour by giving some of that money back.  A $1M donation has been pledged by Gordon, Andy, and Stewart which will be matched by the city to support the MillionTreesNYC program to reforest over 2000 acres of parkland.

Here is a quote from the official Police website:

"We are pleased to contribute to this powerful and historic initiative that will undoubtedly improve the quality of life for future generations," said The Police. "We applaud Mayor Bloomberg and the City of New York for boldly confronting the City's environmental issues and are excited to support their goal of creating a healthier, more sustainable City."

The Police also announced that their final concert ever will be a fund raiser with proceeds benefiting the production of arts programming for Thirteen/WNET and WLIW New York. Tickets will be available nationally online via Thirteen/WNET and WLIW. More details about the benefit show, including venue and ticket information, will be released at a later date.

This is a very appropo place for them to end some 30 years later as their first US tour in '78 started at CBGB's.   They will always be remembered as a great rock band that brought us some of the best songs like Roxanne, Message in a Bottle, and Every Breath You Take to name a few.  If for some reason you can't make it out we will be there to bring you a first hand review and photos.
