Rock superstar Sting is known for a lot of things: frontman of The Police, successful solo artist, occasional actor, setting people he loves free… free, free, set them free.
But somewhere along the way, he also gained a reputation for being a practitioner of tantric sex. He’s denied it in interviews, but like that pesky urban myth about Rod Stewart getting his stomach pumped and Stevie Nicks ingesting cocaine through her nether regions, the rumour of Sting’s sexual stamina refuses to subside. It just keeps lasting… and lasting… and lasting.
So it’s only fitting that the musician’s upcoming date with Vancouver on Dec. 8, as part of his “back to bass” tour, has been extended not one, but two times. As of now, Sting is slated to play three evenings in a row at Queen Elizabeth Theatre. His Dec. 8 show is sold out. There are a limited number of tickets available for his Dec. 9 rendezvous. And he’s just added a third date Dec. 10. When you add it up, Sting could have easily played a single concert at a larger venue, such as Rogers Arena. But you know something? That’s not the way Sting rolls. Instead of one short, quick blast of pleasure, he likes to take his time, spread out his talents over the course of several sensual evenings.
Who knows, maybe he’s got a fourth concert in him. Four nights of Sting. That might be a record. Something tells us we might need to buy more incense and candles.
