India, Aug. 28 -- British rock band The Police may have split four decades ago, but tensions within the band refuse to die down. According to a report by The Sun, frontman Sting is being sued by his former bandmates - guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland - over royalties for the 1983 hit Every Breath You Take. Andy and Stewart have reportedly filed a High Court writ against the 73-year-old singer-songwriter. The case names Sting - under his legal name Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner - and his company Magnetic Publishing Limited as defendants. A source told The Sun: "Lawyers have repeatedly tried to reach settlements outside the court but are deadlocked. Andy and Stewart decided there was no alternative other than the court. They said they [were] owed millions of lost royalties." Every Breath You Take was the best-selling single of 1983 and later ranked among the decade's top five. Sting is the only credited songwriter on the track and reportedly earns £550,000 a year in royalties from it. Summers and Copeland claim they were denied co-writing credits and have not received any share of that revenue. Formed in 1977, The Police broke up in 1984 after five albums. hTC...
