Book Synopsis



An unflinching look at the rise of one of the most recognizable names in pop music -The Police

The Police have sold more than 50 million albums, made Rolling Stone's Greatest Artists of All Time list, and finished a triumphant world reunion tour in 2008.

Now British journalist Chris Campion draws on extensive research and new interviews to trace the inside saga of this iconic group, including the unorthodox business strategies employed by manager Miles Copeland that took them to the top and the intense rivalry that drove Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland to split at the height of their success in the 1980s.

  • The first comprehensive biography on the band and its music
  • Based on extensive research and new interviews with people close to the band
  • Traces the group and its members from their earliest days to the present
  • Includes 26 black-and-white photographs

Whether you've been a fan of The Police for decades or are discovering their music for the first time, Walking on the Moon will give you new insights into the personalities behind this unique band and their role in the rise of 80s New Wave rock.



From the Back Cover



"Chris Campion strips away the myth and treats the Police not as superheroes but as beat cops- cracking their cases gig by gig, hit by hit, van ride by van ride as they worked their way into legend."
--Ian Christe, author of "Sound of the Beast" and "Everybody Wants Some"

"Chris Campion's recounting of the Police saga is well researched and often very funny. It's a great book about a great band."
--Stephen Davis, author of "Hammer of the Gods"

An unflinching look at the rise, fall, and comeback of one of the most famous bands in rock history and the emergence of the 1980s new wave rock scene.

The Police came seemingly from nowhere and took the world by storm. Then, at the height of their fame, they were suddenly gone. "Walking on the Moon" tells the unvarnished tale of their meteoric rise and the intense conflicts that led the group to disband and provides a look at the larger-than-life personalities that surrounded them in the strange and fascinating world of new wave rock.
