Sting talks about reinventing his sound in a different trio while reinterpreting his iconic hits. “It's not the police, but it's a trio that brings a lot of clarity and freedom,” he explains, emphasizing that the stripped-down configuration allows him and his bandmates to explore songs in a way that large ensembles wouldn't .

Highlights of his setlist include deep cuts that longtime fans love. Still, Sting remains thoughtful about his decisions, noting that while older songs like “History Will Teach Us Nothing” pique curiosity, he doesn't always bring them back without reason. “I don't actually think history teaches us anything – it's more of an invitation to think,” he admits, offering insight into his multifaceted approach to songwriting and performing.

Sting also teased his now confirmed collaboration with Dr. Dre and Snopp Dogg and said, “If Dre says I'm on his album, it must be true.” Although he held back on details, the excitement was unmistakable. As he continues his 3.0 Tour (buy tickets here), Sting proves his drive to experiment and evolve is as strong as ever, showing fans a new take on the music that made him a legend.
