Sting has been active in the music industry since 1971 and now that he's in his 70s, many fans are wondering if he's ready to retire from his career anytime soon; find out his answer below!
Speaking with Music Week, the musician, who appeared on the first season of "Only Murders in the Building" with Selena Gomez, gave supporters an insight into his touring career, and it appears that he will not keep his guitar anytime soon.
When asked about possibly headlining the Glastonbury music festival in 2023, the former Police frontman answered, "Why not? I'm not wearing a corset or anything. As long as I can get into my rock star pants, I'll be fine."
Sting to Write More Music in the Future
He further explained that writing music to him is like being in a "game" like tennis as he keeps on wanting to play another round.
It also seems like he will continue writing music in the years to come as making new songs helps him to get better, improve, and learn.
"Every night I try and breathe life into a song that could have been written 40 years ago with the same curiosity, the same passion, the same enthusiasm, and that's my gig. And I'm so grateful for those songs because they've transformed my life," adding that his songs are the "lifeblood" of his career. (via Ultimate Classic Rock)
Elsewhere in the conversation, the musician shared how his songwriting skills improved throughout his entire career, saying that music has a narrative and that as a lyricist himself, it's his job to create a storyline or transform his songs into a character.
Even though that part is the hardest for him, Sting said it's also the "most satisfying part."
