From Cher to Madonna, only a few of the world-renowned stars are addressed by a single name. British rock legend Sting is one of that rare breed.
The multi-talented singer/composer/actor/philanthropist is coming to town on Dec 12. Born in 1951 as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, Sting moved from his hometown Newcastle, to London in 1977 to form the rock band The Police, where he was lead singer and bassist.
The band produced five albums and earned six coveted Grammy Awards. In 2003, The Police was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
