Sting 's former bandmates in the Police are taking him to court over "millions in lost royalties." Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers are suing Sting, whose real name is Gordon Sumner, and his company Magnetic Publishing Limited.

Details of the lawsuit, filed in London's High Court, were unavailable. But Summers has long claimed a missing co-writing credit on "Every Breath You Take," the Police's biggest hit single .

Summers said a unique part he came up with completed the unfinished song. "It's now past two billion plays on Spotify, so it is actually the most-played song of all-time history," Summers told Guitar Player late last year, "which makes my guitar riff one of the most-played riffs in history."
