STING
Some years ago, Gordon Summer dropped out of teaching to risk all in the chancy world of
pop music. Two years later, he was struggling to pay the rent. Now he is known as Sting, the
lead singer of today hottest band, The Police. How did this ex school master manufacture the
right sound, the right image, the right band of sex appeal, to make himself into a teenage idol?
Lulu Appleton reports.
Gordon Summer, an exceptionally good-looking man idolized by millions and so rich, that
he can afford all he could ever wish for. Better known as Sting, he’s the lead singer of the Police.
His naturally fair hair has replaced the dyed blond hair of his stage act. The face magnetizes. The
voice is low and husky, eyes bright and intelligent, yet wary.
Suddenly, he has become a superstar. “I can’t walk down a street anymore without feeling
that people are watching me. I can’t be anonymous any longer, and that’s a drag,” he says. ¶ 3:17 AM 0 Comments
