The end of the Police's blockbuster reunion tour will bring with it the end of the trio's existence as a live band.

The Police with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland held a press conference yesterday in New York City's Times Square, joined by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to announce that their "last ever concert" will be in held there in August--with specifics details forthcoming.

The show will be a fundraiser for public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW New York, and tickets will be sold via the Thirteen/WNET and WLIW Web sites.

The band also promised to contribute $1 million to Bloomberg's MillionTreesNYC initiative--a gift that the city will match--to plant trees all over New York City. The gift will fund the planting of 10,000 trees across all five of New York City's boroughs.

"Some people may be surprised to know that the greatest single contribution to greenhouse gases is deforestation," Sting said at the press conference. "We all want cleaner and cooler air, and planting trees is the best way to achieve that. We have a long history in New York," he added. "We came here first in 1978. We want to leave a gift that will last for decades."

Bloomberg gave each member of the group a key to the city, and commended the band for its charitable efforts over its career.

"We hope the donation by the Police will inspire many more people to get involved," he said. "A lot of people make a lot of money, spend a little bit of it, and don't give any of it away. So these guys are role models."

The Police began the final, 50-show leg of their reunion tour on May 1 in Ottawa, with Elvis Costello & the Imposters serving as opening act this time around. The tour is currently set to wrap Aug. 5 at Jones Beach in New York.
