Fans of rock music have something exciting to look forward to in 2026. Legendary drummer Stewart Copeland, famous for his energetic style and sharp musical mind, is going on a North American spoken-word tour. The tour is titled Have I Said Too Much? — The Police, Hollywood, and Other Adventures. Instead of performing music, he will share stories, memories, and behind-the-scenes experiences from his life and career.
Many music lovers know Copeland as the co-founder and drummer of The Police, one of the biggest rock bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band became famous for hit songs like Every Breath You Take and Roxanne. These songs helped the band win worldwide popularity and earn several chart-topping albums.
But The Police were not only about success. The band also had creative conflicts. Copeland has often talked about the strong but complicated working relationship inside the group. Singer-songwriter Sting played a major role in writing songs, while Copeland focused on rhythm and musical arrangement. Their different ideas sometimes caused arguments, but it also helped create the band’s unique sound.
The 2026 tour is not a traditional concert. Instead, it is a storytelling show. Copeland will share rare photos, private recordings, and video clips from his personal archive. Fans will hear stories about life on tour during The Police’s early fame and what happened behind the stage when the band was becoming globally famous.
Another interesting topic of the tour is Copeland’s work outside rock music. After The Police ended their run in the mid-1980s, he worked in film and game music. One of his popular projects was composing music for the video game Spyro the Dragon, which became loved by many younger players.
The tour will also explore Copeland’s career in film music, including his work in Hollywood. He has worked with famous filmmakers and expanded his musical creativity beyond rock.
Each show is expected to last about 90 minutes. At the end of the performance, Copeland will hold a question-and-answer session. This is a special chance for fans to ask about The Police, music production, touring life, and even old band stories.
The tour starts on June 3, 2026, in Florida and will visit more than 30 cities in North America. Tickets are already available, and prices depend on the venue.
For many fans, this tour is not just about nostalgia. It is about understanding the real human story behind one of rock music’s greatest bands. Stewart Copeland is stepping away from the drum kit to share memories, humor, and honest reflections about his amazing musical journey.
