MUSIC & MUSICIANS
Man in Motion: Sting sits at the dining-room table of his modest apartment on a rainy day in New York City's Upper West Side, overlooking a not-as-breathtaking-as-one-might-wish area of Central Park. "It feels a little bit detached from the city," he says, gazing through the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows. "It's kind of Blade Runner." The English pop icon and his wife, Trudie Styler, have kept a place here since 1984, but this is only a temporary accommodation while he moves from one permanent apartment to another. "This is a stop," he says...

THE SUNDAY MAIL
A symphony with Sting: "I love a challenge," says Sting with a cheeky sideways smile. The 59-year-old singer, who touched down in Australia this week ahead of his national Symphonicity tour, says he thrives on new experiences and couldn't resist the appeal of reworking his most loved songs for performance with an orchestra...

HARPER'S BAZAAR
After almost 30 years together, one of rock's most famous couple isn't afraid to spice things up. Sting and Trudie Styler are nursing a double gin and a vodka tonic, respectively, after spending the day cavorting sexily for photographer Terry Richardson. But they really should be having a cigarette. In a cheeky nod to the couple's boudoir infamy, Sting says, "That was like tantric filmmaking..."

ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
Tuscan Paradise - For Sting and Trudie Styler, landscape designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd plants a heavenly garden near Florence. Great gardens are made, not born, and usually with protracted effort - vast quantities of earth are moved here and there and back again, mature trees are arranged with the help of forklifts, hills are bulldozed into terraces, and, occasionally, rocky outcrops are blasted into submission with strategically placed explosives. By some point in the creative process, the land seems so distressed that the dream it represents to the landscape architect can look like a nightmare to the homeowners...

SKY DELTA
It's a brilliantly sunny - and blazingly hot - afternoon in the leafy Chicago suburb of Highland Park, and Sting is idly walking around on the stage of the Pavilion, an outdoor theatre that extends onto an expansive lawn. In a few hours, Sting and his band, with the support of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra of Britain, will perform the first of two sold-out shows as part of the town's prestigious Ravinia Festival. The Pavilion's 3,200 seats will be filled, and the lawn will be crowded with thousands of picnickers content to hear the music from afar while dining on gourmet fare lit by candelabras...

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
At 59, Sting is only too aware that you can't please all of the people all of the time. In fact, he says, he can't even please himself. He's also been very kind to me. When my father was in a nursing home with Alzheimer's, my mother wanted to put up family pictures, but there were none of me because I hate having my picture taken. She found one of me and Sting from an old newspaper article. My father thought that Sting was a relative, maybe a son...

SYMPHONICITY TOUR PROGRAMME
"In the spring of 2009, I was approached to perform a concert of my songs with the illustrious Chicago Symphony Orchestra. While I had worked with orchestras before on various album tracks and special live performances like the Grammys and the Oscars, I had never been asked to put together an entire evening in such a refined format..."

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
Sting knows his latest crossover project will annoy his detractors. And, he tells The Daily Telegraph's Neil McCormick, he couldn't care less. "I don't need everyone to love me," says Sting. "I really don't." The 58-year-old superstar is preparing to go on stage with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, augmented by his own four-piece band, to perform orchestral rearrangements of songs from his back catalogue...

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
Sting's classical effect: The former Police front man is touring with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Unlike his former band's reunion tour, he is enjoying himself. As the afternoon sun poured through the living room window of his grand apartment overlooking Central Park, Sting was calmly reflecting on his trying reunion with the Police, and anticipating, with genuine excitement, his current tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, performing imaginative new versions of his solo and Police hits...
