Other favourite bands: U2, Coldplay, R.E.M, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, and The Police (obviously lol).
In your own words: I have been a fan of Sting and The Police for as long as I remember (I'm 17, first memories around 2004). My Dad and I have always bonded over our mutual love for the music of Sting and The Police. I wish I could have saw The Police on the reunion tour but I never did and my Dad didn't either. His favorite band is The Police so he was disappointed that he never saw them live. When I saw that sting was coming to town in Chicago (rosemont) I jumped on the opportunity to see Sting so my Dad could see him live. We were not disappointed. It was dream come true for him. He got to see Sting cover classic Police songs and play his great solo hits. It was an experience I will never forget. I also just saw Sting tonight in Dallas and it was another unforgettable performance (the 4th time I've seen him). We had great tickets (I was in the lower section, off to the very right of Sting). He might of saw me since I am really young and was really getting in to the music lol. He put on a hell of show that I will never forget. Thank you for everything you have done Sting. You were one of my influences when I decided to become a musician.
