More about the singer
Earlier in February, Sting sold his entire songwriting catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group for a deal of reportedly over $250 million. The catalog apparently features the artist's solo songs and the songs he wrote for The Police. In a statement after the deal, the singer said:
“It is absolutely essential to me that my career’s body of work have a home where it is valued and respected – not only to connect with longtime fans in new ways but also to introduce my songs to new audiences, musicians and generations.”
Sting has collectively received 17 Grammy awards throughout his career. His hit song Every Breath You Take won Song of the Year along with three Brit Awards, including Best British Male Artist in 1994 and Outstanding Contribution in 2002, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
In 2019, the artist received a BMI Award for Every Breath You Take becoming the most-played song in radio history. The artist was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Police in 2003. In 2000, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for recording.
The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977 primarily consisting of Sting, who was the lead vocalist and bass guitarist, Andy Summers, who was the guitarist, and Stewart Copeland who played the drums and percussion. The band became popular in the late 1970s and 1980s in the new wave scene.
The Police disbanded in 1986 and reunited for a reunion tour in 2007. The reunion tour helped the band members become the highest-earning musicians in 2008.
