    Sting

    Personal Life

    Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE (born 2 October


    1951), known as Sting, is an English musician and actor. He
    was the principal songwriter, lead singer, and bassist for
    the new wave rock band the Police from 1977 to 1984, and
    launched a solo career in 1985.
    In addition to his musical career, Sting has been active in
    human rights and other social issues. He and his wife, Trudie
    Styler, have been married since 1992. The couple has four
    children. Sting also has two other children from his first
    marriage.
    The Police

    Sting played with several groups before forming The Police with
    drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Henri Padovani in 1977.
    Padovani was later replaced by guitarist Andy Summers. The new trio
    released the single "Roxanne" in the spring of 1978, which went nowhere
    at first. Later that year, Sting, Copeland, and Summers traveled around
    the United States in a van playing small clubs, such as CBGB's, a punk
    rock haven in New York City. Interest in their first album Outlandos
    d'Amour (1978) began to grow and it eventually made it onto the British
    and then the American charts. A re-released "Roxanne" as well as "So
    Lonely" and "Can't Stand Losing You" became popular singles. Sting
    wrote most of the songs on the album, as he would for most of the
    group's recordings. Also during this time, he made his first film
    appearance in the musical drama Quadrophenia (1978).
    Also during this time, Sting tackled his first leading
    role in the 1982 film Brimstone and Treacle. He even
    contributed to the score and wrote a song, "Spread a
    Little Happiness," for the soundtrack, which became a
    solo hit for him. The Police regrouped for one more
    studio album, 1983's Synchronicity. "Every Breath You
    Take" climbed to the top of the American and British
    charts. While many have viewed the song as romantic,
    it is actually a tale of obsessive love. After the tour to
    support this album ended in 1984, Sting decided that
    the group should take a break.
    Successful Solo Artist

    Sting began a career as a solo artist, scoring a hit album


    with his first post-Police effort, The Dream of the Blue
    Turtles, released in 1985. On the recording, he worked with
    several jazz musicians, including Branford Marsalis. Sting
    went on to release a string of successful solo albums,
    including Nothing Like the Sun (1987), The
    Soul Cages (1991), Ten Summoner's Tales(1993)
    and Mercury Falling (1996). During this period, Sting wrote
    and recorded a diverse range of music, from haunting
    ballads to intriguing instrumental pieces to upbeat popular
    songs. He found chart success with such singles as
    "Englishman in New York," "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You"
    and "Fields of Gold."
    Activism

    Sting had shown his interest in social and


    political issues in his 1980 song "Driven to
    Tears", an indictment of apathy to world hunger.
    In November 1984 he joined Band Aid, a charity
    supergroup primarily made up of the biggest
    British and Irish musicians of the era, and sang
    on "Do They Know It's Christmas?" which was
    recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill,
    London.
    Main Social Movements

    On 15 September 1997, Sting joined Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton,


    Elton John, Phil Collins and Mark Knopfler at London's Royal Albert
    Hall for Music for Montserrat, a benefit for the Caribbean island
    devastated by a volcano.
    In September 2001, Sting took part in America: A Tribute to
    Heroes singing "Fragile" to raise money for families of victims of the 9/11
    attacks in the U.S. In February 2005, Sting performed the Leeuwin
    Estate Concert Series in Western Australia, the concert raising $4 million
    for the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami relief.
