Sting Sets ‘57th & 9th’ Dates
The last few days have been busy for Mr. Gordon Sumner. Sting headlined the reopening of Paris’ Bataclan Nov. 12. The concert hall had been closed since last November’s terrorist attack during Eagles Of Death Metal’s headlining set at the venue.
Sting’s 12th solo album, 57th & 9th, arrived Nov. 11 on A&M/Interscope Records. The first single from the 10-song disc is “I Can’t Stop Thinking About You.”
Sting’s upcoming tour has him performing with a three-piece band made up of his longtime guitarist Dominic Miller plus Josh Freese (drums) and Rufus Miller (guitar). Special guests include his son singer/songwriter Joe Sumner, as well as Austin-based The Last Bandoleros.
