The Police have gotten togeth with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and staged a press conference to announce their final concert ever. They plan to contribute $1 million to Bloomberg’s MillionTreesNYC initiative, which the city will match.
The concert’s venue as of yet is still unnamed.
The $2 million will aid the planting of trees all over New York City.
Sting said, “Some people may be surprised to know that the greatest single contribution to greenhouse gases is deforestation. 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. We came here first in 1978. We want to leave a gift that will last for decades.”
Sting refused to comment on where The Police’s final show will be, other than to state it will “probably be indoors”.
During the press conference, each member of the band received a key to the city by the Mayor. Afterwards, Sting presented the Mayor with an all access backstage pass for the group’s remaining shows.
