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!
