Police: New album?

The Police are considering making a new album, as they prepare to embark on their enormous comeback world tour.

Andy Summers, the band's guitarist, revealed the news in London earlier this week, and said they were hoping to play "a couple of new songs" at the live shows.

Summers was asked about the possibility of a new Police album, their first in almost 15 years, at the launch of his memoirs "One Train Later" yesterday.

He explained: "If we do well with these concerts we may well make a sixth album. I can't see why not."

Speaking about the band's rehearsals, which follow their official reunion performance at the Grammys earlier this year, Summers confirmed the group had been having fun.

"We've been jamming acoustically lately and we've been really enjoying it. We'll be playing a couple of new songs at the shows in the summer", he said.

The Police play the first of their comeback dates in Vancouver at the end of May before appearing at the following UK shows later in the year:
