Sting stepped out for his first public event in weeks on Tuesday, joining his wife, Trudie Styler, at The Wayuu Taya Foundation’s Spring Gala.
Sting made his first public appearance on Tuesday, attending The Wayuu Taya Foundation’s Spring Gala with his wife, Trudie Styler, after he had to cancel several concerts because of health issues.
The 73-year-old had to delay multiple performances in January, later revealing on Instagram that the cause was a short-term throat infection. The couple, married for 33 years, arrived at the charity event together, with Sting and Trudie walking side by side. Trudie, 71, looked effortlessly stylish in a white midi dress and black boots as they entered the venue.
The Wayuu Taya Foundation works to support indigenous communities, primarily in Latin America, by providing vital aid such as water, food, medicine, and education. He shared: ‘Thanks so much for all of the well wishes. I am steadily improving from a temporary throat infection which has prevented me from singing, though I’m looking forward to resuming my performances and rescheduled shows soon. Love, Sting.’
Sting, whose real name is Gordon Sumner, became well-known in the 1970s as the lead singer and bassist of the rock band The Police. After the band split in 1984, he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing popular songs like Fields of Gold and Shape of My Heart. Over the years, Sting has won numerous awards, including Grammys, and is also known for his work as a philanthropist, supporting various charitable causes. He has had three number one albums in the UK chart and three top 10 singles with tracks All For Love (with Bryan Adams and Sir Rod Stewart), When We Dance, and Rise And Fall (with Craig David).
Due to illness earlier this year, he postponed shows in Phoenix, Arizona, and Wheatland, California, as well as a performance at a record label’s concert, which had all been scheduled for this month. A post to his social media said: “On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday and postpone his STING 3.0 concerts in Phoenix, AZ (originally scheduled for January 24) to June 1 and Wheatland, CA (originally scheduled for January 26) to May 28 as well as his performance at the Cherrytree Music Company’s 20th anniversary, now taking place May 29.”
“Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honoured on the new dates. Sting sincerely apologises for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.” The news came as shock to fans of the singer who is known for his fitness regime. The musician also follows a macrobiotic diet, which consists of many vegetables and grains and avoiding toxins and processed food that contains preservatives. The diet also centres around low consumption of meat, dairy and sugar.
