Sting's gig to be different
By Eddino Abdul Hadi, Music Reporter
STING actor, environment activist, tantric sex poster boy. It was not enough for the Englishman that he used to front The Police, which was among the biggest rock bands in the world.

It was also apparently not enough for him that his subsequent solo music career encompassed jazz, opera and world music.

Restless as the bumblebee which inspired his nickname, the man born Gordon Sumner will be performing classical music in a concert next month at the Esplanade Concert Hall. Not just your average contemporary classical compositions, but 400-year-old Elizabethan pieces from Song From The Labyrinth, his 2006 album with Bosnian lute player Edin Karamazov.

Read Eddino Abdul Hadi's full story in Friday's edition of The Straits Times.
