Probably most people don’t even know who is Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, but this is actually the real name of one of the most famous musicians of all times: Sting. The artist, who was part of the band The Police (which led him to become famous around the world), is touring around the globe presenting his latest production, called “Symphonicities”, and this time comes to Venice to give a concert on the 29th of July.
Sting was born in northern England in 1951 and was the bassist and lead singer of The Police, a group that broke up in ´84 and returned for a series of sporadic presentations between 2007 and 2008. Sting is as always doing things related to music and last year released his last studio album, “Symphonicities”.
As a member of The Police and also during his solo career, Sting has beaten an incredible sum of 100 million albums and won several awards of all kinds: 16 Grammys and even an Oscar nomination.
Sting showed a natural talent for music since he was a kid and already at 8 he was able to play his first songs using a guitar that his uncle had thrown away.
As he grew older he started being part of several bands. These bands included: Phoenix Jazzmen, Last Exit and Newcastle Big Band. The highlight came in ´77 when The Police was born, and from that moment the trio began to make history. Sting launched 18 solo albums and still has great success creating productions.
