Composer, singer, author, actor, 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 albums, earned six
Grammy awards, and in 2003 was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Since 1985, Sting has released 13 solo albums. His latest musical endeavour,
The Last Ship, is inspired by a forthcoming play of the same name that will
debut on Broadway in 2014, and explores the central themes of homecoming and
self-discovery, drawing upon his memories of growing up in the shadow of the
Swan Hunters Shipyard in Wallsend. Sting recently celebrated the 25th
anniversary of his enduring solo career. To commemorate that milestone, the
definitive box set 25 Years was released, along with the free iPad app Sting
25, which was awarded the prestigious Cannes Lion for Best Design/Aesthetic at
the International Festival of Creativity and features exclusive all-star
performances from his 60th birthday benefit concert, plus rare interviews,
photos, music videos, and more.
