STING ; The Idol

One of my idol is  Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, well known as  Sting. He  was born on 2 October 1951 in Wallsend, North Tyneside,  England. He is a famous English musician,  song-writer, actor, bassist and lead vocal of “The Police”. He is also an activist for human rights.

He is  the eldest of four children of Audrey, a hairdresser, and Ernest Matthew Sumner, a milkman and engineer. Young Gordon often assisted his father to deliver the early-morning milk.

He attended St. Cuthbert's Grammar School in Newcastle . He often would sneak into night clubs , where Jimi Hendrix performed ( artist  who later influenced his music ). He ever worked as a bus conductor, a building labourer and a tax officer. He then worked as a schoolteacher at St. Paul's First School for two years.

Sting married actress Frances Tomelty from Northern Ireland, on 1 May 1976. They  had two children. Shortly after the birth of his second child, Sting separated from  Frances Tomelty and began living with actress (and later film producer) Trudie Styler. The couple eventually married on 22 August 1992. Sting and Trudie Styler have four children.
