[edit] Why replaced?

Does anyone know why he was replaced by Andy Summers? "Replaced" seems to indicate it was not his own choice to leave The Police. --80.57.28.208 01:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I know why, but I don't have a citation - someone would have to go digging for it if they want one. Basically, Andy Summers heard Sting and Stewart Copeland performing with another band, was dazzled by their talent, and persuaded them to let him join The Police. Summers was apparantly unimpressed with Padovani's musical knowledge, which led to the two guitarists fighting, and ultimately Padovani leaving the band. My impression has always been that Padovani decided to leave the band on his own accord. Aguerriero (ţ) (ć) (ë) 18:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling?

Isn't the proper spelling Henri Padovani?

Either way I'll make a page Henri Padovani and redirect it here. --Jpawloski 04:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is spelled "Henri", so if anything, the Henry pages should redirect to the Henri one. Aguerriero 21:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I take that back - it appears that he either spells it both ways, or at some point changed it from Henri to Henry. He is credited as "Henri" for The Police song Fallout, but his official Web site lists his name as "Henry". So, anyone's guess. Aguerriero 22:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
