This will be the first time audiences in the United States and Canada will get to see Sting since the Police's hits during a solo performance. His songs are worthy of the lavish attention and many awards Sting has received as a platinum selling major label recording artist. Sting has said "Songs are never finished, they are abandoned." Always a cutting edge artist who deviates from the norm, Sting pushes for music that is new, even when performing his greatest hits. But more importantly, Sting says, " Live Shows should be "fun."
Sting and his arrangers have been working out orchestral versions of some forty songs from the catalog of the Police and from his solo albums. Sting will also have a four piece backing band on hand. Nominally a bassist, Sting has threatened to even play some guitar and harmonica on this tour, "If I can work up the courage," was his response. This tour truly adds up to what will be an amazing experience for all true fans of Sting, and the Police.
Sting's solo career has been as successful and exciting as his time with the seminal new wave band the Police. Sting's albums have sold over 15 million copies, less than the Police, but he has grown immeasurably as a songwriter. He has won several Grammy Awards and received an Oscar nomination! He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He has released nine solo albums since 1985's "The Dream of the Blue Turtles," which was actually recorded when he was still with the Police. He is quite active with several charity causes, most notably the Rainforest Foundation Fund, which he set up with his wife Trudie Styler. In April 2010 for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, Sting joined The Roots and John Legend for the Climate Rally on the Mall in Washington, DC.
The Police broke up in 1984 after a hugely successful seven year career, the same length as the Beatles and the Doors. The Police had dozens of world-wide Top Ten hits and sold countless millions of records. It will be fun to see which tunes Sting chooses to play from the Police catalog; they won six Grammy Awards and were inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. The Police got back together for a massively successful reunion tour in 2007, selling out nearly every venue they played.
This is a unique opportunity to see Sting on a very special tour. His songs are soaring masterpieces on a dimension never heard before on vinyl or live. Yes, Sting's songs are getting the royal Treatment! Expect to hear Police classics like "Roxanne," "Don't Stand So Close To Me," "Message In a Bottle," and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" like you've never heard them before. Sting solo classics like "Englishman In New York" and "Fields Of Gold" will take on new meaning in an orchestral setting. It will be his more complex solo work that will amaze listeners. The starkness and melodies of those songs are rich beyond imagination.
