He excelled at both The Police and his solo hits. Great voice.
Cleveland trivia exp
He gets his name from when they were practicing at night in a studio in Germany. Sting or Gordon always wore a black and yellow sweater while at the studio. The workers started calling him der stingel. That phrase means the bee. Thus the nickname of Sting was created. I love the music from the police!

I met Sting and Andy Summers at the back door of the Glasgow Apollo in 1979. Mobbed by fans they quickly jumped into a car leaving a raging Stewart Copeland behind!

Saw The Police very early in their career at Victoria Palace, London, brilliant. Saw Sting solo at Royal Albert Hall many years later. Was awful. Could see he was only there to earn some bucks and wasn't really enjoying performing. Sad

Now that he's almost 67 years old, it would be interesting to know if he'd still call himself "Sting".
