The song's international success spurred a UK re-release of "Roxanne" in April 1979, which reached in the UK Singles Chart. A live solo version performed by Sting from the 1982 album "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball" received moderate airplay on album-oriented rock radio and reached on the "Billboard" Top Tracks chart. The song went on to become a staple of Sting's performances during his solo career, and it was performed when The Police reunited in 2003 for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
