Sting on Listening to His Music, Las Vegas Residency & The Last Ship

Sting talks about visiting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of our theatre, messing with people who are driving next to him listening to his music, the first time he ever heard one of his songs on the radio, his upcoming residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and his musical The Last Ship which is on tour in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., St. Paul and Detroit. www.thelastshipmusical.com

Sting is timeless. His artistry from the Police to his solo career is distinctive and sets such a bar in music. He will always have a real special place in my vault of go to artists that never tire my ears.

I love the "Soul Cages" album which captures the "shipyard" feel very well. It's my favorite of his solo albums. A great sounding record.

[@GuilhaMarinho]

Lee Barry absolutely! “The Wild Wild Sea” makes me day dream, every time I listen to it. I have this fantasy of him playing it live, which I don’t think will ever happen...

[@adamarthursidsworth5509]

"The Soul Cages" is the best music he ever did, including anything he did with The Police or on the own.

[@marcweissman5752]

While I do like some of the songs on Soul Cages, my fav is Ten Summoner's Tales, by far. Such an incredibly diverse and upbeat album. Next is Dream of the Blue Turtles, then Nothing Like The Sun.

Unlike most of today's musical misfits this guy is a genuine class act, a proper musician from when music was still real....

[@Homeinmygardenwithmydog]

Sting, if you are able to get away, come on up to Reno-Tahoe area and you can hike all over the Sierras. Come on into town and do a show or two. You will appreciate it so much more than Vegas.

I think he must have had something done recently. A tiny bit of botox or facial fillers, as he's looking younger than a couple years back. Whatever he's had done has worked very well.

[@bestiary3208]

I actually saw his play in Finland. It was great! Also one of my most memourable days because he turned up to watch it! Just sat down in the middle of the audience and performed a couple of songs at the end of it as a surprise. It was all dream-like.

Saw the play opening night and it was phenomenal. Worth my whole trip to L.A. I was so impressed that I'm going to hit Vegas to see his show there (though I wish I was seeing The Last Ship again.). One of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Everybody was humming or singing as we left the theatre.

[@cuchelo1]

"The Last Ship" is a really beautiful show. I'd highly recommend anyone in the area to check it out if they can- I'm sure seeing it with Sting himself would make it even better.

Later, I had to go to the bathroom, I saw a guy go to sting and try to talk to him.
