Gordon Summer was born in a mainly working-class area of North Tyneside, England, in 1951. Decades later, we would come to know him as Sting, one of the world's best-selling music artists. Sting was the lead singer of The Police from 1977 to 1984 before launching a hugely successful solo career. In this book, popular music scholar Paul Carr argues that the foundations of Sting's creativity and drive for success were established by his birthplace, with vestiges of his 'Northern Englishness' continuing to emerge in his music long after he left his hometown.
