Stories in both the media and accounts by his former bandmates say he is an asshole.
If this piece in the Post is true, we have another example of his assholitude:
Sting stung a helpless 12-year-old fan Wednesday night during intermission at the Broadway hit "The Book of Mormon." When the lad spotted Sting in the audience at the Eugene O'Neill, he approached the star and declared that "Message in a Bottle" was his favorite tune. But it wasn't music to Sting's ears. "I'm not Sting," replied Sting, according to an onlooker. "I'm some British dude." The Police frontman was spotted the next night watching Robin Williams in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" at the nearby Richard Rodgers. No children were harmed.
Sting has raised money for charter schools and used to teach back in the day when he was still Gordon Sumner.
He says he raises lots of money for lots of charity causes.
You would think somebody like that might be a halfway decent bloke.
But in Sting's case, you would be wrong.
I guess when it comes to meeting actual children and giving them just a minute of his time and treating them like human beings, that's just too difficult a proposition for the Policeman.
Maybe he only likes people in crowds?
Anyway, it's too bad Led Zeppelin's John Bonham didn't make good on his threat to step on Sting's face for being an arrogant asshole.
If anybody could use a good stomping by a drummer, it's Sting.
