Sting forced to cancel concert over severe weather
Sting has been forced to cancel a concert due to severe weather conditions. On Monday, the British musician took to Instagram to explain that he had cancelled his show in Italy the previous night due to "dangerous" weather conditions. Sting was scheduled to perform in the Parco Ragazzi del '99 park in Bassano del Grappa, a city in north-east Italy, as part of his ongoing Sting 3.0 tour. However, the show was abruptly cancelled due to severe thunderstorm warnings. "The mayor of Bassano del Grappa wisely said it would have been too dangerous for the performance to take place with the possibility of lightning and extremely high winds last night," the 73-year-old wrote in the post. He continued, "The safety of my audience, band and crew is paramount. I promise we will return as soon as we can." The news comes weeks after the Every Breath You Take singer was forced to delay one of his shows in the U.K. after The Christians' drummer, Lionel Duke, suffered a cardiac arrest on stage. The incident occurred while the band was opening for Sting in Liverpool, England. Following the collapse, a privacy screen was erected on stage, and medics attended to Lionel. Sting, real name Gordon Sumner, later addressed the audience, stating that the drummer was recovering in the hospital. Sting kicked off his tour on 25 May 2024 and is set to perform in Rome, Italy on Monday, followed by a performance in Udine on Wednesday.

An Englishman in Newport – Sting wows Isle of Wight Festival
Wearing a white T-shirt and tight black trousers, the 73-year-old raced straight into fan favourite Message In A Bottle which got the crowd singing along. Half way through his one-and-a-half-hour slot, Sting said to the Newport audience: 'We are delighted to be back at the Isle of Wight festival, it's a historic festival. 'Thank you for inviting us.' After bounding through An Englishman in New York, Walking On The Moon and Every Breath You Take, the band went off before returning for an encore of Roxanne which the crowd enthusiastically sang along to. Sting then finished with Fragile, the only acoustic song in the set. Other bands taking to the Main Stage on Friday included Lottery Winners, Amy Macdonald, The Corrs and Faithless ending the night while Clean Bandit headlined the Big Top. Some 55,000 partygoers have crossed the Solent to reach Seaclose Park in Newport for the four-day event also being headlined by Stereophonics and Justin Timberlake. John Giddings, who has run the festival since re-launching it in 2002 following the legendary events which ran from 1968 to 1970, has said he goes with 'gut feeling' when choosing the acts. The 72-year-old told the PA news agency: 'You want to book acts that have a catalogue that's going to entertain an audience for an hour, hour and a half, and, secondly, someone who's capable of performing to an audience of 50,000 people in a field, because they need to be able to project to entertain.' Other acts performing during the weekend include The Script, Jess Glynne, Supergrass, Example, Busted and Texas.
