Sting Performs Inshallah Live at Bataclan in Paris
Venue: Telenor Arena
Location: Fornebu, Akershus, Norway
Date: December 11, 2016
In December 2016, Sting performed "Inshallah" live at the Bataclan in Paris, a poignant venue since it had suffered tragedy just a year prior. This performance came shortly after the release of his album "57th & 9th," which hit the shelves in November 2016. The album marked Sting's return to a more rock-oriented sound, a shift from his previous folk-inflected work. It's noteworthy that during this live recording, Sting was accompanied by talented trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, adding a rich, emotional layer to the performance. The event not only showcased Sting’s resilience and artistry but also underscored his commitment to peace and solidarity in the wake of adversity, making it a truly memorable moment in his career.
