World-renowned musician Sting will perform both his classic hits as well as songs from his forthcoming, island-influenced collaborative album with reggae star, Shaggy, entitled 44/876, in Füssen on Friday, 13.07.2018.

Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England before moving to London in 1977 to form The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band released five studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. 

As one of the world’s most distinctive solo artists, Sting has received an additional 10 Grammy Awards, two Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations (including 2017’s nomination for “The Empty Chair” from JIM: THE JAMES FOLEY STORY), a TONY nomination, Billboard Magazine’s Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year.  Also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, he has received the Kennedy Center Honors, The American Music Award of Merit and The Polar Music Prize. 

Following Sting’s most recent, critically-acclaimed album, 57th & 9th, his first rock/pop collection in over a decade, Sting and reggae superstar, Shaggy will release a collaborative, island-influenced album on April 20 entitled 44/876, that reflects the duo’s mutual love of Jamaica – its music, the spirit of its people and the vibrancy of its culture. The first Caribbean-flavored single, “Don’t Make Me Wait,” is available now on all digital platforms accompanied by a music video filmed in Kingston, Jamaica, directed by Gil Green (Drake, Nicki Minaj, etc).

Throughout his illustrious career, Sting has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist. 

He has appeared in more than 15 films, executive produced the critically acclaimed A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, and in 1989 starred in The Threepenny Opera on Broadway.  His most recent theatre project was the TONY-nominated musical The Last Ship, inspired by his memories of the shipbuilding community of Wallsend in the North East of England where he was born and raised. The show, with music and lyrics by Sting, ran on Broadway in 2014/2015 with a regional theatre tour planned throughout the UK in 2018. 

Sting’s support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International, and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach.  Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect both the world’s rainforests and the indigenous people living there.  Together they have held 18 benefit concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet’s endangered resources. Since its inception, the Rainforest Fund has expanded to a network of interconnected organizations working in more than 20 countries over three continents.
