In our review, Teddy Coward wrote: “Sting, a master in maintaining a fresh look (I repeat, he’s 70), did his best, weaving in ‘Walking on the Moon’ and ‘Get Up, Stand Up’. Credit here should equally be paid to his band for their versatility in play. Overall, it was a solid night of entertainment at the Palladium, and one that fans will no doubt love – if only as much as Sting loves himself.”
His 15th solo studio album, The Bridge, was released in 2021, further strengthening a career that shows no signs of slowing down.
In February 2022, Sting added his name to the growing list of artists who are selling their back catalogues. His own was reportedly flogged for a whopping $300million (£225million).
