"I enjoy working. And success or failure is besides the point. It's very nice to succeed, and it can be a little painful to fail. I'm always aware that you can fail. But I'm not terribly afraid of it, because I enjoy the process of working, and attempting, and being brave."

Join Dominic directly after the Friday night Ravinia concert June 7th at Midnight for an intimate evening at the 200 seat Chopin Theater in Chicago. This is a mind blowing opportunity to experience the mystery of the man behind Sting's enormous success. Together Dominic and Sting have recorded 8 albums, performed over 1,200 concerts, and co-written and arranged songs, including songs like "Shape of my Heart" and "Fields of Gold'.

To find the Grammy-award-winning singer in Jodhpur's Mehrangarh Fort is not entirely surprising. It is no secret that over the years Sting and Trudie have been fascinated by all things Indian - from Hinduism and sitar music to yoga and tantric sex. Sting himself has been coming here for more than three decades, sometimes to celebrate New Year in Goa, sometimes to camp in the Thar Desert outside Jaisalmer, sometimes to join pilgrims visiting the holy headwaters of the Yumuna and Ganges rivers. On occasion he has even brought his two children. "I've been lucky enough to share it with my family, and now my children love it as much as I do," he says...
