Sting! The youngest of all the classic rock stars turns 73 October 2nd and has never looked or sounded better.
Today he dropped a new single, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” that sizzles with a gritty vocal over a Bo Diddley OG rock and roll beat. In other words, it rocks like hell and had a great hook.
Sting sets out on his 3.0 tour across America at the end of September. He has three nights at Brooklyn’s Paramount Theater that are already sold out. On November 9th, he hits Las Vegas with Billy Joel.
Will a new album follow the single? I hope so. Sting is writing the final chapter in classic rock, and it’s a doozy.
Who killed classic rock? Not the butler. It was Top 40 and classic rock radio which refuse to play new music by the legacy stars who made them. They did it to the Stones this year, and Green Day, they do it to Bruce Springsteen. They bite the hands that fed them!
