THE DRUM MEDIA
"I never watch anything I'm on, I'm too embarrassed, " smiles Sting, sitting backstage before an appearance at a venue two hours outside of New York in August, after he's asked about the recent documentary on his career screened on SBS...

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Nowadays Sting looks more like a convict than a former leader of The Police - but it's not just his appearance that has changed. When Sting toured Australia in the 1980s as lead singer of the English power pop band The Police, fans kept vigil outside his hotel room, hoping to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic pop star. Lately they've been crossing the road to avoid him. "I look like a convict," says Sting...

Q MAGAZINE
Between a midnight skyful of stars and the sparkling carpet of Seattle's city lights a small jet-plane winks and twinkles. Within, knee to knee in the rather dowdy and over-intimate confinement of a four-seater at 28,000 feet, sit Sting, his co-manager Kim Turner, and Q. The stewardess, Darcy, glamorous as a Bond girl, smilingly asks after her clients' beverage requirements on this short hop to Vancouver, then struggles to maintain her dignity as she twists, crawls and shuffles aft, bent double, to serve them...

THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
Sting's journey to happiness. One time King Of Pain rolls out the red carpet to wisdom, acceptance. It's noisy in the backstage office of the Elbuser arena in Dresden, Germany, where Sting is trying to conduct an interview. "Tell them to shut up in this room," he says to no one in particular. "Can you all not talk?" The Stingatollah - as "Saturday Night Live" once referred to him - has spoken. And the volume doesn't decrease. "They're ignoring me," he grumbles. "People ignore me..."

THE VANCOUVER SUN
Taking the sting out of his music: Music is still his passion. Sting makes no apologies for being happy. No more manufactured crises for the sake of art. No more icy image. No more writhing songs steeped in angst. "No more king of pain," he says from a stop in Kansas City before heading north to Vancouver...

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
As his album Mercury Falling does just that, the ex-Policeman is facing domestic triumph and professional tribulation. King of Painlessness. "Didn't we use Southampton as a base on the 'Synchronicity' tour, Stinger?" asks Kim Turner, long-time co-manager of the artist formerly known as Gordon Sumner. Their chauffeured car is on the way to a tiny Hamptons airport where awaits the Learjet that will carry Sting from Long Island to the evening's gig just outside Boston...

GUITAR WORLD
Stately homeboy Sting fuses a world of musical styles and discovers his true self. Sting and I ride on horseback through the frigid morning mist. The lights of Lake House, Sting's idyllic Jacobean manor, have long ago faded into the swirling fog. To our left, a flock of swans float gracefully on the legendary river Avon. We gallop past the burial mounds of Bronze Age Celtic chieftains, up and down valley trails through some of the most stunning countryside in England...

THE TIMES
The rock star who steps out as an actor has, traditionally, been tantamount to a First World War squaddie sticking his head up above the trenches and poking his tongue at the enemy. Sting, who has chosen to face the critics' sniping more than most, knows this only too well. But this time, he is prepared to accept full responsibility for his actions. After all, 'The Grotesque', which is his tenth film, is a family affair it was produced by his wife, Trudie Styler. They called up a few friends, who worked for virtually nothing, and got the whole project on to the screen for just $3 million...

KURIR
His weapon: Intelligence. Sting! It is pretty difficult to point out one period of your career. You can't call any of them more important than the others. Do you have a period in your musical career that you appreciate less or that you don't value at all? "No. I think my whole career creates a unity. After all I've been in this business for almost twenty years. A lot of time... Yet, it seems like everything would be the result of one moment. Nevertheless I think I live the most important period of my life now..."

REPLAY
The importance of being Sting. Rock's mercurial aristocrat embraces his art, his family... and middle age. The best single word to describe Sting's in-person appearance is taut. His face seems even more neatly chiselled than it does on television, his body even more impeccably lean and fit. There isn't an ounce of excess flesh on this man, and he's clearly quite proud of that. Greeting me in the dining room of his tastefully decorated apartment on New York City's Central Park West, he stands tall and offers a firm, authoritative handshake. Then he sits down and rips off his shirt...
