Sting Tickets
Sting is an artistic pseudonym given to Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, an English actor and musician. His unique musical style that mixes jazz, reggae, classical music, world-beat, new-age and rock has been loved by the whole world since his solo career started in 1985. Before this, he was a songwriter, singer and bassist for The Police, a new-wave rock band. This position propelled him to become one of the world's best-selling artists.Sting and the Police
Sting was born in Wallsend, Northumberland, England to a hairdresser and a milkman and engineer. At the age of 10, he became increasingly obsessed with an antique Spanish guitar in his family home. While studying in grammar school, Sting visited nightclubs that influenced his music later on. He would perform jazz in the evenings and weekends. In 1977, Sting moved to London and joined Steward Copeland and Henry Padovani to form The Police. The group had five best-selling albums in the UK and won six Grammy Awards as well as two Brit Awards. The first musical pieces of the group were greatly inspired by punk but later steered more toward pop and reggae rock. Four of the band's records are present on the Rolling Stone's List of Greatest Albums of All Time. Two of the band's songs, "Every Breath You Take" and "Roxanne," hold the similar top spots in the 500 best songs in rock and roll. During a concert in 1983, Sting decided that it was time to leave the Police to pursue his solo projects. For his first solo debut, Sting released The Dream of the Blue Turtle, featuring artists like Omar Hakim and Kenny Kirkland. Greatest hits like "If you Love Somebody Set Them Free," "Fortress Around Your Heart" and "Russians" are part of that album. Between 1990 and 1997, Sting had even greater success with his albums The Soul Cages, The Summoner's Tales, Ghost in the Machine and Mercury Falling. Between 1998 and 2004, Sting was actively involved with soundtrack work for movies like The Emperor's New Groove, My Funny Friend and Me and Kate and Leopold. During the period between 2006 and 2010, he was more into experimental albums and met with others from The Police for a reunion tour.Where can I purchase Sting tickets?
