Sting

In the lead-up to the Grammy Awards 2013, Sting was riding high on the success of his album 'The Last Ship', which had been released just a few months prior, in September 2013. This album marked a significant return to his roots, drawing inspiration from the shipbuilding community along the River Tyne, where he grew up. During this live recording, Sting joined forces with Bruno Mars and Rihanna to honor the legendary Bob Marley, showcasing his versatility and deep respect for musical history. Interestingly, this performance wasn't just about celebrating Marley; it also highlighted Sting's ability to blend different genres, seamlessly transitioning from rock to reggae rhythms. Sting's emotive voice brought a unique depth to the tribute, reminding audiences of his enduring legacy as both a solo artist and a member of The Police.
