Sting Live: New tour and exciting insights into his work!
sting, the legendary musician, is 73 years old and has sold over 155 million recordings in his career, and 17 Grammys. He is currently in the spotlight with his new tour, the "Sting 3.0" tour, which will also lead to Germany this year in June and October. In an interview, Sting emphasized that he finds it important not to go into a comfort zone in order to remain creative, which is also reflected in the slimming form of his live band.
The band during this tour is reduced to a trio. In addition to Sting, this also includes the guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, who previously worked with Mumford & Sons. Sting makes it clear that the trio does not try to imitate The Police, even if there are comparisons. This conscious decision should change the dynamics of the performances and open up new creative ways.
