''Sting at 60 can still command the audience'' reports the Toronto Star reviewing the the first of two nights at Massey Hall...

November 01, 2011

''After spending the greater part of 2010 fronting a behemoth of an orchestra for his global 'Symphonicities' tour, Sting, ever the British heartthrob at 60 (not to mention a walking billboard for the benefits of yoga), has gone to the opposite extreme and pared things down to the bare necessities with his Back To Bass tour. Flanked by the father and son team of guitarists Dominic and Rufus Miller, Vinnie Colaiuta, the "drummer's drummer," as he tagged him, and the twin violin section of Jo Lawrie and Peter Tickell, Sting proceeded to take the adoring, largely 40-plus and 50-plus sold out crowd on a sonic adventure that revisited past triumphs and explore some lesser known gems of a catalogue that has sold over 100 million albums..."

Perhaps that's why the ex school teacher, born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, has rarely been off the road recently. Throughout 2007-2008 he reunited The Police, a band he walked out on at the height of their powers in 1984. The 14-month trek visited five continents and was seen by over 3.7million people. Last June he hit the road again - with an orchestra in tow - for his Symphonicity tour. Winding that up at the end of July this year, three months later he was back in front of a live audience.
