To read the blog and see some great photographs from the visit and launch of the 'Northern Star' visit http://www.twmuseums.org.uk...

Sting and Paul Simon Will Tour Together...
In the continuing sitcom that is popular music - and also in real life - Sting and Paul Simon once lived in the same building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, they recalled in a recent telephone conversation. "For 20 years, this guy would be borrowing things all the time," Sting said, in a tone of mocking complaint. "Then I heard he was a songwriter." Mr. Simon responded with similar facetiousness, "As soon as he got a chance, he moved up, hierarchically, into more elite buildings." Now these improbable former neighbors are about to become unlikely tour mates. On Tuesday, Sting and Mr. Simon are to announce that they will appear together on a North American tour, during which they will perform several of their best-known songs individually and as a duo. Eighteen dates are scheduled from Feb. 8 through March 16, with additional dates expected to be announced...

Sting returns to his working-class roots for latest project...
It's hard to imagine given his status as a rock star that Sting might have ended up in a different line of work had he followed his late father's advice on his educational and career aspirations. In retrospect, the singer acknowledged that his father, who worked as a milkman, was right. "He thought making a living as a songwriter was a pie in the sky idea," said Sting. "He was worried about me. He thought I was nuts. He wanted me to go to technical school. I decided I wanted to escape..."
