Ill, Sting cancels several concerts “on his doctor's orders”!

It was the huge surprise of the first semi-final of the “Star Academy”. Sting played the guest of choice to perform his hit “Message in a Bottle” with Charles and Marine, impressed to have been able to share the microphone with this international icon. A great catch for the show, often criticized for the lack of international stars over the last two seasons. The arrival of the bassist, and former leader of the group The Police, comes in the middle of a busy schedule. After the marathon “My Songs Tour”, which gave rise to more than 300 dates between 2019 and 2024, the 73-year-old English musician has just launched his new tour “Sting 3.0”, where he is simply surrounded on stage by his guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. Two concerts are planned at the Accor Arena in Paris and the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier on October 9 and 11.
