All of these tribute performances for/to Sting, you always see great or tiny degrees of nails on the chalkboard for him. He sets the bar higher than most musicians/performers, even the most renowned, to begin to approach. Bruno Mars erased all of Sting’s pain and genuinely moved him moved him. Strange aside, but what if Stevie Ray Vaughan or Prince could’ve been called up on stage to blow some doors off too?
