Sting has recorded a special tribute to Prince on his forthcoming album, according to NME. The singer’s song “50,000,” which will be included on his new album, 57th & 9th, was written the week Prince died. “Mortality does rear its head, particularly at my age; I’m 64,” Sting told Rolling Stone. “It’s a comment on how shocked we all are when one of our cultural icons dies. Prince, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Lemmy: they’re our gods, in a way. So when they die, we have to question our immortality. Even I, as a rock star, have to question my own. It’s the bittersweet realisation that hubris doesn’t mean anything in the end.” 57th & 9th is being produced by Sting’s new manager, Martin Kierszenbaum. The album is named after the intersection in New York City where he is recording the album. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
