Sting - Fragile
At 65, Sting can stillrock. He took the stage on Dec. 13 at The Voice finale to perform his new hit song, I Cant Stop Thinking About You. And yes, he reminded everyone thateven though he hasnt put out a rock album in years, hes back in a big way.
The finalists of season 11 W McDonald,Billy Gilman, SundanceHead andJosh Gallagher took a rest during the finale to watch one of the bestartists of all time take the stage: Sting. He completely nailed his performance during the finale!
The song, I Cant Stop Thinking About You is the latest hit off of thesingers 12th solo LP, 57th & 9th, named after a crosswalk in New York that he walked through every day on the way to the studio. This LP is the first rock album hes made in years, and its gotten rave reviews.
Pics: The Voice Season 11 Live FinaleIts not a lute album, he told Rolling Stone, referencing 2006s Songs From the Labyrinth. Its rockier than anything Ive done in a while. This record is a sort of omnibus of everything that I do, but the flagship seems to be this energetic thing. Im very happy to put up the mast and see how it goes.
Of course, we saw that during his performance onThe Voice. When writing his album with his team, he also focused on another thing: the loss of so many huge, influential stars.
Mortality does sort of rear its head, particularly at my age Im 64. Its really a comment on how shocked we all are when one of our cultural icons dies: Prince, David [Bowie], Glenn Frey, Lemmy. They are our gods, in a way, he said, speaking on his song, 50,000, that he wrote the week Prince died. So when they die, we have to question our own immortality. Even I, as a rock star, have to question my own. And the sort of bittersweet realization that hubris doesnt mean anything in the end.
HollywoodLifers, did you love his performance?
