I heard him on a recent solo album he released not that long ago. Still sounded excellent. Very distinctive voice that is instantly recognisable. Also found out that Stewart Copeland composed the soundtrack to the Spyro the Dragon series of games on PS1 back in the 90s - for someone growing up in the 90s and obsessed with gaming (back then) you'd be amazed just how fond I am of that fact! Only fair that I give a shout out to Andy Summers as well - he must be one of the most underrated guitarists ever. Not a slasher or a riff mad w**ker - just beautifully subtle and careful in constructing the right atmosphere and style around Sting's lyrics. Very much my ideal guitarist!
Anyhow - on another Bruce marathon of late. Tunnel of Love especially.

I have always thought that the three members compliment each other very well, including Andy Summers as you say. I still listen to their music a lot now as I feel it has aged well in comparison to other sounds of that time.
When they were signed to A & M Records, many of their singles were limited edition coloured vinyl and I wish I still had mine today, for the sake of nostalgia.
