World-famous singer, songwriter and humanitarian Sting arrived in Jamaica yesterday eager to perform at tomorrow night's Shaggy and Friends charity concert — his first ever live performance in Jamaica which he promised will be historic.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime concert. It's going to be something very special and memorable, historic I would say, and hysterical probably,” the multiple Grammy Award-winning British artiste told the Jamaica Observer after his arrival at the Ian Fleming International Airport in St Mary where he was met by Shaggy.
The comment triggered uncontrollable laughter between the two musicians, who acknowledged that they share a passion for music and the environment.
“I haven't been here for a long, long time, so it's a great way to come home; it always feels like home to me. To come as Shaggy's guest is very important to me,” added Sting, who said he hasn't been back in Jamaica since the 1980s when he did some work with Sly and Robbie. more
