Sting has Halifax crowd wrapped around his finger.

It sure has been awhile since the legendary Sting has been in Halifax.  In 1986 Sting and his wife Trudi Stylehad were on their way home for Christmas on a flight from New York to London when the pilot had to make an emergency landing when Trudi took sick.

Fast forward almost thirty-six years later, Sting finally made his return, this time under much better circumstances.  After  opening with the Police classic “Message in a Bottle”, Sting took a minute and thanked the local doctors and nurses of Halifax for helping save his wife’s life.

Sporting a bright orange t-shirt and black jeans the 70-year-old then took the capacity crowd on musical journey.  For nearly two hours the 17-time grammy award winner weaved through his set-list that was composed of hit after hit, making the night one big sing-along for the fans.

This show will go down has a Halifax classic.  Scotiabank Centre concert goers expressed their satisfaction online during and after the show confirming that Sting is truly a musical icon, a legend that shouldn’t be missed in this lifetime.
