STING
Englishman Sting was born Gordon Sumner in 1951. Before achieving fame as a member of The Police, Sting worked as a teacher. As part of the trio, he scored several hits such as "Every Breath You Take", "Roxanne" and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". 
Work on his solo launch began before the end of The Police was announced. Sting assembled jazz musicians for his backing band. 'The Dream Of The Blue Turtles' was unleashed in 1985. It spawned the singles "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free", "Russians", "Love Is The Seventh Wave" and "Fortress Around Your Heart". 
In 1987, '...Nothing Like The Sun' reached #1 in Britain, as did 'The Soul Cages' 4 years later. A 1997 compilation of his Police and Sting hits topped the UK chart. 
Sting collaborated with Eric Clapton for "It's Probably Me" on the 'Lethal Weapon 3' soundtrack. His 1993 single "All For Love" was recorded with Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams. It topped the charts in America, Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia. 
A Police reunion in 2007-8 saw the trio tour the globe before Sting returned the focus back on his solo career. In 2013, he finished his musical "The Last Ship". His most recent album of new songs was '57 & 9th', issued in late 2016.
