Sting

In 1985, Sting was right at the height of his career, riding the wave of success from his second solo album, 'Nothing Like the Sun,' which had been released shortly before the Live Aid concert. At Live Aid, he teamed up with The Police's classic track 'Driven to Tears,' showcasing not only his powerful voice but also the strong socio-political message that resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. Fun fact: Sting's performance is remembered not only for its musical impact but also for how it exemplified his commitment to humanitarian efforts, as Live Aid itself was a monumental benefit concert aimed at raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. His dynamic presence on stage, paired with the raw energy of the festival, solidified Sting's legacy as an artist who wasn't afraid to merge art with activism.
