The event included Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Will.i.am and Rufus Wainwright, all who performed covers of Sting and/or Police songs.
The other reason for the ex-Police-man to cheer is the 25th anniversary of his solo career and the release of a new box set to mark the occasion.
“Sting: 25 Years The Definitive Box Set Collection” covers Three CDs featuring 45 remastered tracks spanning Sting’s solo career, plus a DVD containing previously unreleased live concert footage.
Sting stopped by David Letterman’s show Monday night to chat and play one of his classic tracks.
