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 11 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 has spent
over 20 weeks atop Billboard's Reggae Album chart in the US, earned
Gold certifications in Poland and
France and most recently received
the GRAMMY Award for Best Reggae Album.
Following their critically-acclaimed world tour, the iconic duo,
both managed by The Cherrytree Music Company, will bring their
44/876 Tour to the UK from May 19 -
25 for a series of intimate and exclusive concerts, hailed
"a reggae rock dance party that never lets up."
On May 24, a new album entitled
Sting: My Songs, featuring contemporary interpretations of
his most celebrated hits, will be released and followed by a
European summer tour of the same name. Sting's 'My Songs' tour will
consist of a rollicking, dynamic show featuring his most beloved
songs spanning the 17-time GRAMMY Award winner's prolific
career with The Police and as a solo artist.
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.
