Stewart Copeland’s drumming helped define a generation.  

As one third of The Police, he played at some of the biggest venues not only in New Zealand, but in the world.  

He went on to work extensively in composing for film and TV.  

And now, 18 years since his last visit to New Zealand, Copeland is returning for a very special spoken word tour - ‘Have I Said Too Much? The Police, Hollywood, And Other Adventures’.  

He told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame this type of show is a bit more of an intellectual exercise than playing the drums. 

“Actually having to form sentences and so on, is a little more challenging,” Copeland said. 

“Fortunately in my 70-something years, I’ve had a couple of adventures, which are fun to talk about.”
