He started his music career as a bass player and lead singer in "the Police". Sting's solo career began in 1982. His popularity and fame grew rapidly and steadily. Since 1994 Sting has been considered to be one of the finest quality songwriters to appear out of the second UK "new wave" boom (post-1977). Sting spent a traumatic time during the summer of 1995 when he had to testify in court after accusing his accountant of stealing vast sums of his income. The outcome was in the singer's favour and the accountant was jailed for six years. The title track of his new album, Brand New Day, proved he was still capable of achieving hit singles. This album has enjoyed a long residency on the charts. 2. Time Event 1 October 2,1951 2 1982 3 Post - 1977 4 1995 (summer) 5 1999 Pre – listening activity.
