My poor heart aches …

June 4, 1983
The Police started a four week run at No.1 in the UK with a cut from their album Synchronicity, Every Breath You Take, (the group’s fifth and final No.1 single,) on this date.

The Police performed this when they were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. They were inducted by No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani, who showed a picture of her getting an autograph from Sting when she was a chubby 13 year old.

It was the last performance of the night and the closest thing to the all-star jam that typically ends the ceremonies.

The Police were joined by Stefani, Steven Tyler (who inducted AC/DC), and John Mayer, who had recently won a Grammy for his song Your Body Is A Wonderland.
