Description
Based on two years of research and interviews with colleagues, relatives and friends, this book paints a revealing portrait of rock star Sting. It tells of his unsettled childhood, of his time in The Police, his passionate love-life, his interest in fitness and self-awareness, his more tranquil, contemplative nature of the 1990s, and how his idealistic attempt to help save the Brazilian Rainforest nearly cost him his career as a rock star.Tags
