The U2 guitarist, meanwhile, was headed for the local arena to see a million faces and rock them all. Looking back at the chance encounter, Summers says it was a perfect example of how much things have changed in the last decade. When the Police were in their early '80s glory, a little known Irish band named U2 was an occasional opening act. Now, the only time Summers will see the inside of an arena is if he buys tickets for a Lakers game. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Summers is content being a former member of a hugely popular group.
He's got better ways to spend his days. It's boring for me. I've already done it. Not to sound jaded, but that's it. Post-Police life for Summers is very different from the years spent touring the world and racking up huge album sales.
