Sting

In July 1985, during the iconic Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium, Sting shared the stage with Phil Collins to perform "Every Breath You Take," originally a hit by The Police, the band he fronted prior to his solo career. This live performance occurred shortly after the release of Sting's debut solo album, "The Dream of the Blue Turtles," which came out in 1985 and marked a significant transition for him as he ventured beyond his previous work with The Police. The album featured a jazz-influenced sound and included popular tracks like "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." Notably, Sting's appearance at Live Aid contributed to raising global awareness and funds for the Ethiopian famine, showcasing his commitment to humanitarian efforts in addition to his musical pursuits. This performance underscored his status not just as a superstar, but also as an artist leveraging his influence for social causes.
