Sting

On December 9, 2021, Sting delivered a haunting performance of "What Could Have Been" at The Game Awards, adding a poignant touch to the event. This track, part of Netflix's 'Arcane,' showcases Sting's seamless transition into the world of television adaptations, further solidifying his remarkable versatility. Before this performance, he had released his album 'The Bridge' in November 2021, which marked a return to solo work after a brief hiatus. It’s worth noting that 'The Bridge' has a reflective quality, mirroring the themes in 'What Could Have Been,' suggesting an introspective season in Sting's career. Collaborating with violinist Ray Chen at such a prominent event not only emphasizes his enduring relevance but also highlights the fusion of music and gaming culture, paving the way for wider acceptance of roots in contemporary media.
