, Summers has also enjoyed considerable critical acclaim for his work behind a camera, including a highly-regarded showing of “City Like This” at the Beaux Arts gallery in London and “Light Strings”, a photographic collaboration with the pre-eminent New York photographer, Ralph Gibson.
In March of 2007, Taschen Books published “I’ll Be Watching You”, an extensive photographic journal of his years with The Police.
In March of 2003, The Police briefly returned to the stage for the band’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The three-song set included the classics “Roxanne”, “Every Breath You Take”, and “Message in a Bottle” and the renewed hope in music fans worldwide for a future reunion of one of the most innovative and influential bands in rock & roll.
Although they existed for just over six years, the band's contribution to the lexicon of rock was immense. They were the first band to fully integrate the no-nonsense approach of punk rock and the spirit-moving positive energy of reggae. Having sold an excess of 50 million albums worldwide, The Police had phenomenal chart success and won a multitude of accolades both public and critical, but they never allowed such peripherals to overshadow their commitment to the music itself. The band’s history bears that out from the beginning to end, providing a clear, concise picture of a musical group that took us on a short but unforgettable trip through the inner reaches of its soul - and let us have a great time in the process.
