This morning.

Sting aka Gordon Summer announcing a Dublin run of his musical The Last Ship, inspired by the ship building industry in Tyne on Wear, and playing at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre next year (june4-9, 2018).
He’s 76!

he’s 66 ffs
This
and FFS BS couldn’t even get his name right – aka Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE
He’s actually billions of years old. His energy can be traced back to the big bang.
Interesting photos.That’s the farthest away from the middle of the road he has ever been.
I am guessing he dyes his hair.
He’ll die in his own arms that eejit.
Thanks Bert
Feckin snot all over the shop
oh Sting where is thy death etc etc etc
There is a fierce amount of bird poo at his feet there..
Don’t stand so close to me canal!
Iv hated him ever since I found out how miserable he was with royalties towards the other members of police. Especially with Andy summers, since he’s the only one actually on puff daddys il be missing you. Yet sting had the balls to try claim all rights.
greed is the biggest crime against humanity
Well that and Michael McIntyre.
I read that first as Mull of Kintyre. And I was going to tell that it’s one of my most-requested karaoke numbers. But you didn’t say that.
Very cruel man
Sting(ey)
Stung
Nice anecdote on the man from the late Peter O’Toole.

Great read that, thanks
Despite Sting being a mere 66 years old, rather than 76, I confess to being a fan. “The King of The Mods” in “Quadrophenia” and The father of Nick Moran in, “Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels”, he certainly has a range as an actor.
His mate, Stewart from “The Police”, it appears his dad was a founder of the CIA, heavily embroiled in U.S foreign policy in The Middle East from the 50s to the 80s. So, all good there then?
No-one’s perfect, but he can certainly write and perform haunting, meaningful tunes, such as, “Do Do Do Do, Da Da Da Da”. The first time I heard those lyrics, I did have a certain chill.
There was a German Electronic Group, “Trio”, who rivalled ,”The Police” lyrically, “Da, Da, Da”

Pardon me for bucking the trend here and saying something nice but I like Sting. Shock Horror!! The man has a range in his voice like no other, has written some incredible songs, is an incredible musician and fronted one of the greatest bands ever.
