60 Minutes Australia: Sting (2016)

How’s this for a cutting personality assessment: one of Sting’s own bandmates reckons the singer- songwriter is an egotist, a narcissist and a misanthrope! Ouch. Tara Brown, however, met quite a different 65-year-old rock star in New York. These days, despite being described as being “richer than God”, Sting is happiest at home living a simple life with his wife of 35 years and six children. Of course, on the music front, he’s still working hard and has no plans to retire. In fact he has just released another solo album, but as it races up the charts he’s getting a serious run for his money from an unlikely showbiz competitor - his own daughter.
