I'm about 60-70% sure that the tour won't last it's planned length for this exact reason. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they played their UK shows and called off the North America leg due to the inevitable tension. I can't believe they are actually going ahead with the tour- as a fan, I'm thrilled, but I'm going to make it a point to go to the first show simply because I'm not sure it's going to last long.
When they reunited for their Hall of Fame induction, Sting looked miserable, and was visibly frustrated for all the same reasons he used to be back when the band was active (Stewart's constantly changing drum pace, for one). It should be interesting.

They did the five or so dates for the Amnesty '86 tour, but that was it. Not sure if you know, but the original plan was for the Greatest Hits album to be ALL re-recordings of their hits... they got as far as Don't Stand and De Do Do before they had the good sense to call it off, and only release the former on the GH cd (the latter is even more boring and uninspired, if you can believe it)
