Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE better known by his stage name Sting, is an English musician, singer-songwriter known as the lead singer of The Police.

Sting was born in Wallsend, North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, England. In 1977 Gordon moved from Newcastle to London and met Stewart Copeland and Henry Padovani to form a new wave band called The Police. They enjoyed success from the late 70's to early 80's, releasing five albums, four of which topped the charts in the UK and one that topped the charts in the US also. They enjoyed huge success with their punk inspired sounds which developed into a minimalist reggae tinged rock/pop and had a plethora of hit singles including 'Message In A Bottle' 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' 'Every Breath You Take' and 'Walking On The Moon'.

The band unofficially parted after their final release 'Synchronicity' to focus on their solo careers. Sting's first solo gig was at Amnesty International's The Secret Policeman's Other Ball where he performed solo versions of tracks such as 'Roxanne' and 'Message In A Bottle'. In 1985, Sting finally released his debut record which featured a heavier lean towards jazz including the musicians Kenny Kirkland, Darryl Jones, Omar Hakim and Branford Marsalis. Once again, he enjoyed a number of hit singles from the record and within a year it had been awarded triple platinum. To add to the accolades Sting also received four Grammy nominations for 'The Dream Of Blue Turtles'.

Sting was part of the iconic Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' charity single which raised money for famine victims in Ethiopia and took part in the live aid concert the following year, playing a selection of The Police hits. His next album '...Nothing Like The Sun' mirrored the successes of his first, more hit singles, more Grammy Nominations and this time a Brit Award for Best Album. The following four releases all reached the top five of the UK charts and have now been certified as platinum selling. In 2007 he reunited with his Police bandmates as the introductory act for the 2007 Grammy Awards, singing 'Roxanne' and subsequently announced a huge worldwide tour which sold out almost instantly.

Sting has had multiple successes both with his band and as a solo artist. He has accumulated a total of sixteen Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards and several Oscar nominations for Best Original Song. He is known for his musical abilities but also his activism, becoming patrons for several charities including Elton John's AIDS foundation. He has sold over 100 million records to date.

Live reviews

Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, otherwise known as Sting has been a staple name in music since The Police hit the big time in the late 70s. Now touring his own popular solo work along with a handful of The Police's hit singles, audiences continue to flock to see the iconic singer perform.

Often accompanied by an orchestra, a staple sound for his solo work. The arrangement adds a sense of grandeur and luxury to the affair and as Sumner stands centre you can see he still has a great deal of passion for performing. It is also clear that he enjoys delighting his audiences with Police classics such as 'Driven To Tears' and 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' as he plays them with such jovial enthusiasm as the audience proudly sing back these timeless tracks.

His own brand of new wave tracks are considered equally classic as the poignant 'Fields Of Gold' sounds wonderful as Sting sings in a vocal that appears not to have aged. The encore of 'Every Breath You Take' perhaps gets the biggest cheer of the night as this tender mega-hit is sung note perfect by both performer and audience. As he takes a final bow and thanks his magnificent backing band, the audience appear thankful Sting isn't a star who shun the limelight in older age.

Report as inappropriate

As always, the show was terrific. My husband and I have attended Sting's concerts since the early 1980's.

The opening acts of Joe Sumner and The Lost Bandoleros were very good. The Lost Bandaleros are from Austin TX and their music was energetic, rhythmic and engaging. It was especially interesting to see onstage Sting's son Joe and Dominic Miller's son performing with them. There's a lot of good genes on that stage!

The set was a mix of Sting's newest album and songs from The Police and previous solo albums. It is always moving to hear the entire audience singing his hits back to him, especially the ones that are 30+ years old.

Sting's songs have accompanied me throughout my adulthood and each one holds special meaning. In his live performance, the memories to times and events past become vivid again.

Especially moving was his last song of the night, which he sang by himself. It's The Empty Chair, composed for the documentary "Jim" about James Foley, the American journalist beheaded by ISIS. So haunting in the midst of what our country is going through now with the new administration. We need to remember and think about our American heroes more than ever as our democracy is so threatened from within.

Sting performing with the Philarmonic Orchestra of Gran Canaria was such a special night. It was a balmy evening in July, in an open air stadium when the sounds of Every Little Thing she does is Magic starts then Sting hits the stage wearing a black jacket, black trousers and a white shirt. This concert was so unique as he was accompanied by a philarmonic Orchestra and his own band, rocking out some of the old Police songs and many of his own. The Spanish audience went wild when he Sang Englishman in New York and changed the words to Englishman in Gran Canaria. When he sang Fields of Gold, When We Dance and Shape of My Heart, I was so engrossed in the atmosphere I could hardly see the stage through the tears. All night the Spanish audience never missed a single word (the lyrics being sung by everyone in the crowd) and they clapped for over 2 hours, with a short break in the middle. The orchestra managed to adapt many of the well known UK hit songs including Mad About You, Roxanne, Message in a Bottle and many more. He may now be 60 years old but his voice and emotion have never wavered over the years; it was a truly magnificent concert.

Sting and Paul Simon must, between them, have spent the better part of at least 50 years (if not more!) touring. So the concert was everything you would expect, in terms of great showmanship, fantastic musicians, great musical arrangements, and great voices. All the musicians were excellent, as you would expect. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was an interesting set - they alternated in terms of performance - and it's amazing how you never really forget the words to "The Boxer" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water" even if you haven't heard them for at least a decade. I think the setlist was also interesting and between them they clearly had enough material to fill the time ten times over. I would have liked to hear some different songs from Sting (we saw him last year or two years ago, and there was a big overlap in the set) but still these are consummate musicians doing what they do best, so what's not to like? Could have done with more dancing though!

I was so impressed! This is the first time I have seen the opening act AND a family member incorporated into the whole show. And the Last Bandoleros (https://www.facebook.com/lastbandoleros/) were so good! We got the CD! Sounded like the Eagles a little bit to me-- from San Antonio TX. Sting's son and the Last Bandoleros sang backup for Sting during the whole show! Sting was very personable and talked to the audience a good deal. I was waiting for "Moon Over Bourbon Street" since he was playing in New Orleans, but it never did come-- but the playlist was a great mix of old Police and new Sting. Loved every minute of it. Three encores. Good luck at the Academy Awards for "The Empty Chair", Sting. We love you.

Sting and Shaggy concert was such a memorable night at The Roundhouse! They played for two hours!! I got the set list in the end and from what they planned, they have changed the last song, which should be Fragile, for Next to You. I sense it was a wise decision as people was more likely to dance than to watch.

I had some good laughs with Shaggy moves and improv, and with Sting playing the part of a prisoner in one particular song.

Other musicians were at their peak, even the guitar player who substituted Dominic, now recovering from surgery.

They distilled a lot of hits, including Love is the 7th Wave, which is so Shaggy in a way.

I am still feeling the positive vibes.

I've been a fan of Gordon Sumner aka "Sting" since the earliest of Police albums that came in clear blue vinyl straight from England. They were a bold new sound of ska mixed with jazz mixed with rock... it came together brilliantly. I was immediately hooked and had to get everything ever merchandised and felt no shame. That is, until the day the 3 broke up... Sure enough Sting was not one to be left behind, he took to the stage with his wordsmith lyrics and sexy romantic jazz/blues new sounds that some Police fans had a hard time swallowing. All in all his voice and words leave you thinking and feeling them deeply. A great performer and even better individual!

Sting is still incredible in concert! Sting is so freaking talented and I could watch and listen to him all day long! I thought it was funny he was wearing his own Merch. But I wish there was a shirt for the show like the lanyard picture instead. I wasn’t sure about the Shaggy pairing at first but it turned out to be a hit. Shaggy has the most contagious energy and that boy can cardio! The back up singers were surprisingly some of the best talent I have ever seen...they could’ve been headliners too. Every moment was enjoyed and the venue was amazing. KC you didn’t disappoint

Actually it whas Sting&Paul Simon.

At the firtst hand I did not notice that there actually where also two bands on the stage.

Left hand side the band from Sting and right hand side the band of Paul Simon.

The performance whas allright, quality of music whas well balanced. Volume whas a little bit to soft. Ziggodome is an excellent concertvenue.

Hope to see much more concerts here.

Overall the 3 hours !! during show whas very entertaining and all the past hits passed the show. I had a nice evening .

Absolutely fantastic! While the Myth is kind of "meh" in terms of operation, it is still a great concert venue (although the stage could use a 1'+ raise) seeing legendary performers in a small venue is worth the price of admission every time! This is how concerts are meant to be and enjoyed. Loved everything about it! Opening the entire show with a Sting solo and closing the same way - CHILLS! Amazing! Please, offer more legends in small venues - we need that!

Sting: An Englishman in Germany

The superstar of all superstars, Sting, was going to tour like crazy. Then, Corona messed it all up. Now, there are new concert dates. Since he wants to be on the safe side, Sting will be hitting German stages in 2022.

Berlin, July 3rd, 2021. Update: November 3rd, 2021 (The Berlin Spectator) —  The metamorphosis of Mr. Gordon Sumner, who dumped his conventional name long ago and replaced it with Sting, is just as fascinating as his work. People can like or dislike his music, but nobody can deny that most sounds he has delivered are part of the high quality rubric in Rock, Pop and Folk.

On the Dark Side

The only problem Sting’s hits have, no matter whether it is ‘Roxanne’ or ‘Englishman in New York’, is that they have been played on the world’s many radio stations far too much. Of course 99.9 percent of all Pop and Rock musicians in the world would kill if only they could have this problem instead of their own.

In the 1980s, when it all started, musical quality was still an important aspect. In this regard, Sting’s band The Police actually did not get to the highest level in 1978, when they released their first album entitled ‘Outlandos D’Amour’. This record attracted people because of the mood, drive and energy it transported.

‘Inner Secrets’, the Santana album released that same year, contained more fancy compositions and stunning performances, while what The Police came up with was partially on the dark side, meaning some tunes were even Punk-influenced, such as ‘Truth Hits Everybody’. And ‘Roxanne’ was louder than Santana’s ‘Stormy’, in several ways.

The Man Who Stuck Out

The Police consisted of three new guys on the block who attracted young girls, and probably boys, with both their sounds and their sex appeal. Whatever the interpretation of The Police’s first album might be: It was very successful. It literally exploded. Almost everyone in the world will identify ‘Roxanne’, while only die-hard Santana fans would remember ‘Stormy’.

In articles about genius musicians like Sting, it usually says “he grew up in a musical family”. Well, he did not. His mother was a hairdresser and his father an engineer and milk man. The Northern Counties College of Education in Northumberland was not exactly Julliard. Sting was a bus driver and teacher. Music became a priority when he attended Cream and Manfred Mann gigs. He started singing with Jazz acts at night, since his unique voice and stage presence always stuck out.

From 1977 to 1983, for six years, Sting was an integral part of the big ride The Police had. Five studio albums and countless world tours kept the guys busy. Sting was their main composer and front man on the bass. While his bass playing seemed rather simplistic for a while, his voice always killed it.

It’s Definitely Him

In 1983, the year The Police released ‘Synchronicity’, Sting was on stage the moment he decided to leave the band in order to become a solo artist. By then, the group had already dumped their more aggressive Punk sounds. They fit the Pop music world even better than six years earlier. But Sting became the singer/songwriter he had to become, as a solo artist. The man in the center of it all, Sting formerly known as Gordon Sumner, became one of the three biggest superstars of the 1980s.

‘Fragile’, ‘It’s Probably Me’, whatever he composed and came up with, hit the world like a bomb. His pieces were played by radio stations until listeners got sick of them, and they were interpreted by fellow artists. The nicest cover of ‘It’s Probably Me’ was delivered by Vanessa Rubin many years ago.

Drowned in Awards

Let’s hit the fast forward button or this article will never end: Sting has recorded a dozen studio albums so far. As an actor, he played in quite a few movies and TV shows. As a chess player, he lost against Garry Kasparov. In short: There is nothing the superstar cannot do, except for winning against the Russian chess master.

There are three words this brilliant article just needs to contain. They are ‘Eighteen’, ‘Grammy’ and ‘Awards’, in this order. Of course he was nominated for many more and drowned in a million other awards, including an American Music Award, Brit Awards and, as you can imagine, a whole lot of other prizes. How many Ikea shelves does Sting need to display all of them? We might never know.

German and Austrian Gigs

Las Vegas is where Sting is performing as we speak. In June of 2022, he will go back there. No, he is not going back to hit the Craps tables. Well, let’s hope so. But first, he will “do” Europe.

Now we are finally getting to the best part of this article: Why did we even publish it? Because he is coming. No, not Godot, but Sting. To Germany and other European countries. Hallelujah. The German leg of his tour is scheduled to be kicked off in Mannheim on March 26th, 2022. Leipzig and Hamburg will be covered on March 28th and 30th, respectively. In April, Oberhausen and Cologne are on the agenda. On June 25th, 2022 the man will be back in Hamburg. This time, it is an open air gig. Then, he is scheduled appear on a stage in Neu Ulm.

An Englishman in Zurich

Bonn, Eisenstadt (Austria), Munich, Tüssling, Würzburg, Mainz, Erfurt and Halle will all be squeezed into the month of July of 2022. On July 28th, 2022, a city nobody has ever heard of will be serviced. It is called Berlin.

Whoever thinks this is it should think again. Sting would not be Sting if he did not perform in Luxembourg, France and Italy too. No, Nancy is not the name of some groupie, but a city in France he will be gigging in. How about London? This is where he will raise the roof at the Palladium six times in a row. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands will get their share of Sting as well. We almost forgot Czechia, Poland and Spain. The last European tour gig is supposed to take place in Zurich/Switzerland on October 10th, 2022.

Thursday, April 25, 2024

Article body

We’re just seven weeks away from the start of UEFA EURO 2024, and the festivities have already started in Germany as the Trophy Tour has been continuing to make its way through the ten host cities.

The event kicked off in Stuttgart on 22 March and has since been to Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen, with fans across western Germany getting the chance to see the iconic Henri Delaunay trophy and meet some special guests.

Excitement builds across the country

The second stop on the Trophy Tour was Frankfurt, where the silverware embarked on a photo tour through the city, including Frankfurt Arena, which will host five matches at UEFA EURO 2024.

The trophy was then put on display at the MyZeil shopping centre, where tournament ambassador Célia Šašić was in attendance alongside Host City ambassador and former Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Alexander Meier, who signed autographs for fans before taking part in a Q&A session with other local guests. Meanwhile, 11-time table football world champion Chris Marks showed off his skills, with two more tables available for fans to use.

The Tour then moved onto Cologne, which will also host five EURO 2024 matches. Tournament director Philipp Lahm accompanied the trophy on a photo tour ending at the German Sports & Olympic Museum, where fans were able to take pictures with the cup. Lahm then took part in a talk with Mayor Henriette Reker and Host City ambassador Toni Schumacher, who won the 1980 UEFA European Championship with West Germany.

In Düsseldorf, Lahm met Host City ambassadors Sandra Mikolaschek, a two-time Paralympian in para table tennis, and Selin Oruz, Olympic bronze medallist in hockey, following a photo tour taking in the sights of the city and inviting local football clubs to join in the fun. The Merkur-Spiel Arena will stage five EURO 2024 games, including the third quarter-final on Saturday 6 July.

The next stop was Dortmund, where fans were treated to an afternoon of fun family-friendly activities at Friedensplatz, including football-themed games and plenty of food and drink options. The trophy was paraded through the city, with stops including the German Football Museum and BVB Stadion, which will host six EURO 2024 matches, culminating in the second semi-final on Wednesday 10 July.

The trophy then made the short trip to Gelsenkirchen and the Arena AufSchalke, where four EURO 2024 matches are scheduled to take place. It was greeted at the stadium by Host City ambassador, 43-cap Germany forward and Schalke 04 legend Gerald Asamoah. Along with former teammate Émile Mpenza, Asamoah took part in a penalty shootout challenge before watching a tournament for local youth teams with mascot Albärt. Schalke players were also in attendance and signed autographs for the children, who could take photos with the trophy.

The Trophy Tour’s final stops

The UEFA EURO 2024 Trophy Tour now heads to the capital Berlin before making its last three stops in Leipzig, Hamburg and Munich, where it ends on 14 May, exactly a month before the tournament kicks off.

Through its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Strategy , UEFA EURO 2024 aims to be a reference point for sustainability in the world of sports, and a driving force for sustainable development in Germany and beyond. The Trophy Tour is playing an important role by bringing the festivities to supporters across Germany, while fostering ties with local organisations and supporting grassroots football.

Review: Billy Joel and Sting light up San Diego stadium on a cool, soggy night

SAN DIEGO — Take a bow, mother nature!

Thanks to some uncharacteristically wet April weather during Billy Joel’s sold-out concert with Sting at Petco Park on Saturday night, pop-music’s famed piano man has achieved an elite — if not entirely coveted — distinction. He now joins the Rolling Stones, Miles Davis and Tony Bennett on the very short list of legendary musicians whose open-air San Diego concerts saw them forge ahead in a noble quest to reign in the rain.

Happily, no precipitation marred Sting’s superb, 83-minute opening set, which included a propulsive version of his funk-fueled 1993 romp, “Heavy Cloud No Rain.” Alas, the song includes a couplet that proved all too prescient Saturday night at the downtown ball park: The clouds won’t go till their work is done / Every morning you’ll hear me pray / If only it would rain today.

The clouds started their work at 9:10 p.m., midway through “Movin’ Out,” the second selection by Joel and his brassy, one-woman, seven-man band. The light but steady rain continued through his next seven numbers, which included “Vienna,” “An Innocent Man,” “Don’t Ask Me Why,” a truncated version of the Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up,” and the jazzy, finger-snapping “Big Man on Mulberry Street,” which featured Joel trading vocal lines with an umbrella-twirling Sting.

“Bring your raincoat!” Joel quipped as Sting strolled on to the enormous stage, which stretched across much of Petco Park’s right and center fields.

Before “Start Me Up,” Joel told the audience: “Don’t get all excited; I ain’t Mick Jagger.” Indeed, at 74, Joel is six years younger than the hyper-kinetic, age-defying Jagger. (The Rolling Stones, incidentally, were the first rock act to perform at the then-new Petco Park in 2005, a year after it opened.)

When “Start Me Up” concluded, Joel and his well-drilled band playfully broke into a few verses of the 1964 Riveras’ chestnut, “California Sun,” which was memorably covered in 1977 by the Ramones. Raindrops were visible on parts of his grand piano, but Joel was undaunted.

“We’re from New York — this is nothing!” he told the cheering crowd. Even so, Joel’s stage attire was topped off with a black zip-up jacket, a cap and a wool scarf. The drizzle was constant enough that several of this reporter’s pens stopped working because of how wet the pages in my notebook had become.

The rain abated — for a while — shortly after Joel launched into his ninth selection, “New York State of Mind,” his signature song and one of the highlights of his set.

The air was alternately dry and moist for the 13 numbers that followed in Joel’s concert. It culminated with five sure-thing encore numbers — “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “Uptown Girl,” “It’s Still Rock and’ Roll To Me,” “Big Shot” and “You May be Right,” which included a charged snippet of Led Zeppelin’s 1971 classic, “Rock and Roll,” sung by Joel band guitarist Mike DelGuidice.

The show ended at 10:55 p.m., five minutes before Petco Park’s curfew. It was Joel’s second appearance at the stadium, where he delivered a memorable, 26-song performance in 2016 to a sold-out crowd.

Then, as on Saturday, Joel’s grand piano periodically rotated on the stage to afford the audience on each side of the packed stadium a better vantage point. Saturday’s concert was shorter by five songs than in 2016. What also differed is Joel’s singing voice, which has lost some of its range and impact.

He acknowledged as much when introducing “An Innocent Man,” the title track of his 1983 album. “I didn’t realize when I recorded this that I was saying goodbye to a lot of my high notes,” Joel said. “If I hit a lot of flat notes, you’re allowed to groan.”

He was thoroughly engaged and his singing was warm and resonant on winning renditions of “Vienna,” “Only the Good Die Young,” “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” and “Piano Man.” And his keyboard work was rarely less than sparkling. But on other numbers, he repeatedly strained to hit notes, despite singing them in lower keys than they were originally recorded.

Of course, the rain and cool night air could have been factors for the veteran troubadour, who tonight at 9 will be featured on the CBS TV concert special, “Billy Joel: The 100th — Live at Madison Square Garden.”

But indoors or out, his crowd-pleasing Petco Park concert was marred by inconsistent pacing, no more so that when “The River of Dreams” segued into Ike & Tina Turner’s “River Deep, Mountain High” — a good, but not great, showcase for singer and multi-instrumentalist Crystal Talifero. This was followed by guitarist DelGuidice’s vocal rendition of the storied Puccini opera aria, “Nessun dorma” — which translates as “Nobody’s Sleeping” — as the lead-in to “Piano Man.”

Say, what? Even if this was meant as an inside joke, clearly nobody was sleeping on such a damp, cool evening. And the enthusiastic audience, which sang along and danced en masse, left no doubt of its devotion to Joel and the songs that many attendees grew up hearing.

Pacing and vocal power were no problem for Sting, whose 16-song opening set was a master class in how to structure, balance and deliver a concert that soared from start (a spirited duet with Joel on “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic”) to finish (“Every Breath You Take,” likely the most memorable rock song ever about stalking).

Sting, who performed with equal elan in October at his SDSU concert here, was in excellent voice throughout Saturday. No matter how many times he has previously sung “Roxanne,” “Message in a Bottle,” So Lonely” and “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free,” he made each sound wonderfully fresh and vital. Sting’s songs are durable and flexible, enabling him to modify their keys, time signatures and arrangements in a manner that simultaneously saluted and extended them.

His exemplary bass playing was, likewise, a marvel of taste, concision and musicality that added welcome dimension to the songs at hand. He was matched, note for note, by his very talented, one-woman, five-man band. It included Ben Butler, very ably subbing for longtime Sting guitarist Dominic Miller (who is now embarked on a solo tour in Europe).

Sting consistently injected fresh vigor into such favorites as “Message in a Bottle,” Brand New Day,” “Fields of Gold,” and “King of Pain,” adding welcome new twists while remaining true to each song’s essence. Rather than rush through songs, he extended a number of them — including “Walking on the Moon,” which lasted 12 minutes but was not a second too long — the better to build dynamic tension and release.

No stranger to stadium concerts, Sting commanded the stage with an inviting combination of authority, wit and good-natured bonhomie. Even more so than Joel, he repeatedly engaged the audience in spirited, call-and-response vocal exchanges. Sting also delivered a few well-timed asides. (Introducing The Police’s 1981 gem, “Spirits in the Material World,” he deadpanned: “I can assure you it’s not a Madonna song,” a wry allusion to her 1984 hit, “Material Girl.”)

After the harmonica-led “Brand New Day,” Sting commented on the inclement weather, saying: “Man, it’s cold! I come from England, where it’s (now) sunny and warm. You can’t trust the weather anymore, which is what this next song is about.” He and his band then delivered an expertly calibrated version of “Heavy Weather No Rain,” during which he ad-libbed some extra lyrics: “You’re in San Diego — my ship just came in!”

Sting wisely let his music speak for itself, most notably on “Desert Rose.” Its snaking, Arabic-inspired melody seemed all the more poignant at a time when, sadly, war is again rife in the Middle East.

At 72, Sting remains an arresting musical force. The bar he set for Joel to follow Saturday was, ultimately, a bridge too far — although that may reflect the fact Sting tours constantly, while Joel currently averages just two concerts a month. Either way, on Saturday neither of them let the rain dampen their musical parade.
