Sacred Love gets no Grammy nods
by Maggie White 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Nothing for Sacred Love, even though it was eligible this year. Why am I not surprised? Sting is nominated for one of the Cold Mountain songs in a music for film category. U2's new CD was NOT eligible for this year's Grammys because it was released after Sept. 30. Only the song Vertigo is eligible and it has three nominations in different categories. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search.

Two Australian dates confirmed!!!
by Panda 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi guys!!!! I can't stop wondering why it's so silent after these news? Two Australian dates confirmed!!! These will be Sting's only dates in Australia this tour. Feb 12, Leeuwin Winery, Margaret River, Western Australia Feb 13, Leeuwin Winery, Margaret River, Western Australia Why I don't hear Australians celebrating this event? Don't tell Australia is huge! I saw guys from Australia in Paris for an opening night in 2003, so it can't be too far to go! Fans from other countries - please rise your hands who is up to the trip to Australia!! I think you all deserve standing ovations! I'd like to go myself but it's within 2 month which is soooo sooooon and I'm not even sure if I can get visa that fast. Btw, do you guys need a visa to go there (or it's once again lucky Latvians only who need it?). Anyway, share your happiness with everybody! :) And tell us more what sort of place it? Cheers, PB

Modena + Broken Music tour
by Giovanni 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

Hello guys, here I am.... First of all the show in Modena went great; someone said it was even better than Milan, but I'm not on that opinion; great, but I guess Milano was a little better. The voice was great again and he spoke a little more than Milan. A complete different jam on Roxanne gave us all the certainty that there is a lot of improvisation during the show; in Milano the jam on Roxanne included spots of Sister Moon and King Of Pain, and a small remind of Spirits In The Material World, while in Modena Sting sung some lines out of It Ain't Necessarily So and modified completely the rendition of the song. You can see from the eyes of every musician that most of the songs that allow this chance to improvise are the best part of the show, as Sting goes everywhere with the voice and improvisation. Back to the Broken Music tour, it seems like Sting is already working on rehearsing some tracks; I can't confirm these might be part of that tour but during the soundcheck he played Tea In The Sahara (Police version - bautiful) and Consider Me Gone (rock rendition, very good). I've heard the tour will include some tracks from the early days as well as some Sting solo stuff but the main thing is that everything will rock! It seems like nobody still knows precisely what will happen and which songs will be performed, but I can tell Sting is looking forward to work on it. These are confidential informations and I ask you not to put them on line even if there are not too many details and I don't even have certainties about them...these are just rumours. Ciao ciao Giovanni

Sting's voice
by Paula Mickevich 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Giovanni says: Excellent show my friends! Really excellent. No surprises; an incredible voice, everybody was shocked! This is Sting voice at its best ... ...and I know what I say, as most of you know the first time I saw Sting singing was with the Police, and after tons of concerts I can say this was probably one of the best vocal performance. Ha! I just purchased the Live Aid dvds and was NOT happy hearing Sting sing Roxanne - yikes! I much prefer his voice now - the dvds were redeemed Stingwise by having the original Band Aid "Do they Know It's Christmas?" video on it - he is sooo adorable looking on it. So young and fresh looking - where have those years gone? Paula

Record the Broken Music Tour
by Kenneth Dudzik 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Hey people, Start taping the shows and sharing the music for all the poor souls who cannot get to the concerts. If you do not know how to tape, search around on the net, there's plenty of info on taping concerts. Even if the shows suck, someone else might like them. I taped Sting the last two times he came around and I was bored most of the show but I know there are people out there who won't have the chance to see a show in the area where they live. Please let me know if anyone is planning on taping. Ken
