Legendary rock drummer Stewart Copeland is heading back out on tour later year and is set to visit Torquay’s Babbacombe Theatre in October.

The show is part of his ‘Have I Said Too Much, The Police, Hollywood, And Other Adventures’ in conversation tour that is taking in 13 venues across England and Wales this autumn.

Regarded by many as one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, Stewart drove the all-conquering success of The Police during the 1970s and 1980s, before being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A multi-Grammy winner, who followed his work with The Police by composing music for soundtracks for Hollywood movies and operas, Stewart is hitting the road for his most intimate tour to date.

Having played drums for Curved Air from 1975 to 1976, Stewart was the founding member of The Police recruiting lead singer Sting and guitarist Andy Summers. His remarkable talent helped drive The Police to world domination between 1977 and 1986, and then again from 2007 to 2008 when the band reunited.

His Hollywood soundtracks include Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumblefish and Oliver Stone's Wall Street and Talk Radio. He wrote books, formed supergroups, made films, and composed music for ballet, opera, and classical concerts.

Commenting on the tour Stewart said: “Demand for tickets for the first leg of my intimate new tour has surpassed my expectations, and I can’t wait to return next year and share the stories of my life with even more fans.”

An Evening With Stewart Copeland will provide a fascinating insight into his incredible life as a performer, musician, entertainer, and writer.
