It's the man known to his friends as Gordon.
78 STING
Born Gordon Sumner on 2nd October 1951 in Wallsend, Tyne & Wear, England. Sting acquired the nickname because when he was younger he would wear a striped jumper that made him look like a bee; he was also a teacher before finding global success with The Police. The decision to split the group when they were at their height was at first baffling, and although he’s never quite reached the sales of The Police in his solo work, the quality has never wavered.
