Sting announces UK tour dates

Following the success of his autumn North American tour Sting has announced his 'Back to Bass Tour' will extend to the UK early next year.

The tour will see the ex-Police frontman Gordon Sumner celebrate the 27th anniversary of his solo career by taking it back to bass... "all of the hits, stripped down, as they haven't been played in years."

Sting will be joined on tour by longtime guitarist Dominic Miller, Rufus Miller (guitarist), Vinnie Colaiuta (drummer), Peter Tickell (electric fiddle), and Jo Lawry (vocalist).

In September this year the box set collection, 'Sting: 25 Years' was released which brought together highlights and rarities of Sting's solo career on three CDs.

The 'Back to Bass Tour' will see Sting performing these songs spanning a career from his 1985 debut 'The Dream Of The Blue Turtles' to his latest release, 'Live in Berlin', plus a selection of The Police's classics such as 'Desert Rose', 'Every Breath You Take', and 'Fields of Gold'.
