Profile Edit

English rock star Sting was the leader of The Police, who enjoyed a string of chart-topping singles in the early 80s and sold millions of records around the world. After disbanding the group, Sting went on to enjoy a successful solo career.

Sting was born Gordon Sumner in Newcastle, England, and came to fame in the late 70s as the lead singer, songwriter and bass player for seminal rock band The Police. After The Police released their monumental fifth album Synchronicity, the band went their separate ways and Sting released his first solo album The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985). He would go on to release seven more solo albums in his career and become known for his environmental crusading. He also famously claimed to have tantric sex with his wife Trudie Styler, but more recently he has said that this was a joke that took on a life of its own.
