ABOUT STING:
Composer, singer-songwriter, actor,
author, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to
London in 1977 to form The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The
band released five studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and
was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
As one of the world’s most
distinctive solo artists, Sting has received an additional 12 Grammy awards,
two Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations (including 2017’s
nomination for The Empty Chair from Jim: The James Foley Story), a TONY
nomination, Billboard Magazine’s Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of
the Year. Also a member of the
Songwriters Hall of Fame, he has received the Kennedy Center Honors, The
American Music Award of Merit, and The Polar Music Prize. Sting has been
awarded Honorary Doctorates of Music by the University of Northumbria (1992),
Berklee College of Music (1994), University of Newcastle upon Tyne (2006) and
Brown University at its 250th Commencement ceremony (2018).
Throughout his illustrious career,
Sting has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The
Police and as a solo artist.
Following his critically acclaimed
album, 57th & 9th, his first rock/pop collection in over a decade, Sting
and reggae star, Shaggy released a collaborative, island-influenced album,
entitled 44/876, that draws from the many surprising connections at the heart
of their music. With its title referencing their home country codes, 44/876
first and foremost honors the duo’s mutual love for Jamaica: Shaggy’s homeland,
and the place where Sting penned such classics as The Police’s Every Breath You
Take. Their chart-topping release debuted at #1 in Germany and Top 10 in the
UK. It spent over 20 weeks atop Billboard’s Reggae Album chart in the US,
earned Gold certifications in Poland and France and received the GRAMMY Award
for Best Reggae Album.
On May 24, a new album entitled
Sting: My Songs, featuring contemporary interpretations of his most celebrated
hits, was released and followed by a European summer tour of the same name.
Sting’s My Songs Tour consists of a rollicking, dynamic show featuring his most
beloved songs spanning the 18-time Grammy Award winner’s prolific career with
The Police and as a solo artist.
Next year, Sting will headline a
Las Vegas residency, “My Songs,” set to open at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace
Friday, May 22, 2020. The show will present a compendium of Sting’s songs with
dynamic, visual references to some of his most iconic videos and inspirations.
He has appeared in more than 15
films, executive produced the critically acclaimed A Guide to Recognizing Your
Saints, and in 1989 starred in The Threepenny Opera on Broadway. His most recent theatre project was the
TONY-nominated musical The Last Ship, inspired by his memories of the
shipbuilding community of Wallsend in the North East of England where he was
born and raised. The show, with music and lyrics by Sting, ran on Broadway in
2014/2015 and completed a critically acclaimed UK regional theatre tour which
ran from March-July 2018. Most recently, Sting starred as shipyard foreman
Jackie White in the Toronto-based production of The Last Ship at the Princess
of Wales Theatre. He will reprise the role for productions in Los Angeles at
the Ahmanson Theatre (January 14 – February 16, 2020) and in San Francisco at
the SHN Golden Gate Theatre (February 20 – March 22, 2020).
Sting’s support for human rights
organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International, and Live Aid
mirrors his art in its universal outreach.
Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989
to protect both the world’s rainforests and the indigenous people living
there. Together they have held 18
benefit concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet’s endangered
resources. Since its inception, the Rainforest Fund has expanded to a network
of interconnected organizations working in more than 20 countries over three
continents.
Other Sting hits include Desert
Rose, If You Love Somebody, Can’t Stand Losing You, Fragile, If I Ever Lose My
Faith In You, Wrap Around Your Finger, Synchronicity, Spirits in The Material World,
Demolition Man, King Of Pain, Driven To Tears, De Do Do Do, De Do Da Da, Every
Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Russians, Fortress Around Your Finger, Someone
To Watch Over Me, and more!
