Biography

Musician (bassist), composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist Sting was born in Wallsend, North Tyneside, England 2 October 1951, before moving to London in 1977 to form [a7987] with [a=Stewart Copeland] and [a=Andy Summers]. The band released five studio albums, earned six Grammy Awards and two Brits, and was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. One of the early bands Sumner played with was [a=The Phoenix Jazzmen]. He once performed wearing a black and yellow jersey with hooped stripes that bandleader [a=Gordon Solomon] had noted made him look like a bumblebee; thus Sumner became "Sting". He uses Sting almost exclusively, except on official documents. In a press conference, he once jokingly stated that even his children call him Sting. In 1988, he established [l52368]. As one of the world’s most distinctive solo artists, Sting has received an additional 11 Grammy Awards, two Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, four Oscar nominations (most recently for “The Empty Chair” from JIM: The James Foley Story), a TONY nomination, Billboard Magazine’s Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year. In 2002, he received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2003, Sting received a CBE from Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for services to music. In December 2014 he received the Kennedy Center Honors, and most recently was given The American Music Award of Merit. Throughout his enduring career, he has sold close to 100 million albums from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist. Sting’s support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach. Along with wife [a=Trudie Styler], Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect both the world’s rainforests and the indigenous people living there. Together they have held 17 benefit concerts to raise funds and awareness for our planet’s endangered resources. Received the Polar Music Prize 2017. In 2019, Sting was honoured at the BMI Pop Awards for his enduring hit single “Every Breath You Take,” which has become the most performed song, with 15 million radio plays, from BMI’s catalog of over 14 million musical works. In May 2023, he was made an Ivor Novello Fellow. Sting married actress [a=Frances Tomelty] from Northern Ireland, on 1 May 1976. Before they divorced in 1984, they had two children: Joseph ("[a880220]") (born 23 November 1976) and Fuchsia Katherine ("[a=Kate Sumner]", born 17 April 1982). In 1982, after the birth of his second child, he separated from Tomelty and began living with actress and film producer [a=Trudie Styler]. The couple married at Camden Register Office on 20 August 1992. Sting and Styler have four children: Brigitte Michael [a=Michael Sumner] ("Mickey", born 19 January 1984), [a=Jake Sumner] (24 May 1985), Eliot Pauline [a=Eliot Sumner] (nicknamed "Coco", 30 July 1990), and Giacomo Luke (17 December 1995).

LYRICS

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of Gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
