About Sting
Sting is a British musician and to a much-lesser degree actor who, cutting straight to the chase, is one of the most-celebrated musicians in the history of the music industry. Some of his best-known hits include “If You Love Somebody Set Them Free” (1983), “We’ll Be Together” (1987) and his signature tune, “Every Breath You Take” alongside his former band, The Police, in 1983.
He’s had a notable acting career, which includes him performing on Broadway and is arguably highlighted by his appearance, as Feyd Rautha, in the classic 1984 sci-fi film “Dune”.
Some of his famous collaborative works include "Fragile", alongside Julio Iglesias (in 1994) and "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" (in 1997) together with Toby Keith. Sting was also featured on Tina Turner’s 1996 song entitled, "On Silent Wings".
