Sting


The British singer-songwriter Sting
has released his 14th studio album, a
collection of reworked versions of many
of the former The Police frontman’s best-
known hits. Sting has said that all of the
new versions, including of “Message in a
Bottle”, “Englishman in New York” and “If I
Ever Lose My Faith in You”, have a renewed
contemporary focus.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. Although Sting’s real name is Gordon
    Matthew Thomas Sumner, he told Time in
    2011: “I was never called Gordon. You could
    shout ‘Gordon’ in the street and I would just
    move out of your way.”

  2. Sting was born on October 2, 1951 in the
    town of Wallsend, near Newcastle upon Tyne
    in North East England.

  3. From 1977 to 1984, Sting was the lead
    vocalist of British rock band The Police.

  4. While some of the renditions on My Songs
    are largely remixes of the original tracks,
    other songs have been entirely re-recorded
    for this album.

  5. In support of the album, Sting has
    embarked on the My Songs tour, which
    started in Paris, France on May 28.
