Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE (born 2 October 1951), better known as Sting, is an English singer-songwriter and sometime actor who launched a successful solo career after a short but spectacular run fronting The Police. Without Stewart Copeland's influence his sound became mellower, and he became a staple of Adult Contemporary radio stations, while still dabbling in a variety of genres.Some of his most popular songs include "Fields of Gold", "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free", "Fortress Around Your Heart", "We'll Be Together", "All This Time", and "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You". "Desert Rose", released as a single in 2000, was his last hit in the U.S., though he's enjoyed somewhat greater longevity in Europe.His son, Joe Sumner, followed in his footsteps, becoming the lead vocalist and bassist for the group Fiction Plane.Not to be confused with the wrestler or with the other kind of Musical Sting. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: The DC Comics character John Constantine was originally designed with Sting's appearance "purely to get [him] into the story", according to the character's co-creator Alan Moore. Went full-circle when the man himself put on the iconic trenchcoat to announce he'd write the foreword to the Hellblazer 30th Anniversary edition. | |

Genre Shift: After 20 years of making pop albums, in 2006 Sting dove into Elizabethan music with Songs from the Labyrinth. He stayed in the classical groove for a while, not putting out a new pop album until 2016. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Tall, blond and handsome, Sting did quite a few shirtless scenes in both his videos and his acting work. Both he and David Lynch wanted his Space Speedo scene in Dune (1984) to be a nude scene, but the studio wouldn't hear it. | |

New Sound Album: Ten Summoner's Tales cut out the art pop and funk rock leanings of Sting's first three albums in favor of straight pop rock, Songs from the Labyrinth was a Genre Shift to contemporary classical music, and 57th & 9th brought Sting back into the pop rock sound. | |

Literary Allusion Title | |
| Sting (Music) / int_27690f66 | comment |
Literary Allusion Title: As noted, Sting's literary allusions could take up a page of their own, but here's a rundown of album titles: ...Nothing Like The Sun is a quote from a Shakespeare sonnet. The Soul Cages takes its name from an Irish folk tale in William Butler Yeats' collection. Ten Summoner's Tales derives from a Geoffrey Chaucer character (and is also a play on Sting's real last name, Sumner). If on a Winter's Night... is named after Italo Calvino's novel If on a winter’s night a traveler. | |

Pun-Based Title | |
| Sting (Music) / int_3eb0f889 | comment |
Pun-Based Title: Ten Summoner's Tales plays off of the phonetic similarity between "summoner" and Sting's real name, Gordon Sumner. Discounting the prologue and epilogue (or just the epilogue on LP and US CD copies), the album consists primarily of ten narrative songs, essentially being ten Sumner's tales. | |

"Moon Over Bourbon Street," for example, is based on Interview with the Vampire, and "The Soul Cages" is based on a story in William Butler Yeats' collection of Irish folk tales.

Greatest Hits Album | |
| Sting (Music) / int_93851bf1 | comment |
Greatest Hits Album: Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994 compiled his hits up to that point along with a new single, "When We Dance." 1997's The Very Best of Sting & The Police combines both solo hits and works by The Police, including a new remix of "Roxanne" by Sean Combs to capitalize on the latter sampling "Every Breath You Take" in "I'll Be Missing You". The album was later reissued twice with modified tracklists: the 1998 version removed "Russians" and added "Seven Days", "Fragile", and "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da", while the 2002 reissue removed "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot", "Russians", and the "Roxanne" remix while adding "Brand New Day", "Desert Rose", and "So Lonely". The 2011 collection 25 Years, comprised of 31 tracks, necessarily included some non-hits. | |

Spiritual Antithesis: Sting was a bit put out that his most famous song with The Police was an Obsession Song, "Every Breath You Take." So he wrote "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" as a direct negation of it. ("Fortress Around Your Heart," from the same album, echoes the theme.) | |

Recycled Lyrics: He likes to put bits of previous hits into the fade-outs of songs. For instance, "Love is the Seventh Wave" ends with him riffing on "Every Breath You Take," "Seven Days" fades out with an excerpt of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," and "We'll Be Together" calls back to "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." | |

Disco Dan | |
| Sting (Music) / int_ebe5d89c | comment |
Disco Dan: Sting admitted in his memoir that the bands he played with before The Police were almost defiantly behind the times, playing jazz and show tunes while glam rock and heavy metal were climbing the charts. It was Stewart Copeland who dragged him somewhere in the vicinity of coolness by bringing punk and reggae beats to his songs. After he went solo, Sting started sounding lighter and jazzier again, and in 2006 left pop music entirely (see Genre Shift below). | |
