I used to live about 200 yds away from Sting. Knew him when he was a teacher in Newcastle. Spoke to him a few times before he made it big & watched him practice in the local clubs at our area. A very nice fellow & quite an extraordinary voice as well as being extremely polite. He always had the time to talk whenver you approached him

Mind you that was a long long time ago 20 years or more so maybe the star status has changed him.
