STING: The ups and downs of the famous rockstar
It is little known that in parallel with his musical work, Gordon Matthew Sumner, Sting was diagnosed with clinical depression, and paranoia
The leader of the famous band “Police”, Gordon Matthew Sumner, better known as Sting, experienced poverty, overcame a divorce, faced depression and paranoia, became extremely famous, and reached the list of the five hundred richest people from Britain.
The song "Shape of my heart" has dominated the world charts for a long time. It is little known that in parallel with his musical work, Sting was diagnosed with clinical depression and paranoia, reaching the verge of a nervous breakdown. It took many years for his life to begin to look like a fairy tale. Before he reached that point, he had to experience poverty, pain, trauma, and great effort.
Named Gordon Matthew Sumner, he was born in Wallsend, the northern English city, on October 2, 1951. As the eldest of four children of Ernie Sumner and his wife Audrey, he grew up in a small house and a dark family atmosphere typical of poor neighborhoods.
He spent at least two decades trying to get rid of the severe frustrations from his childhood and teenage years. As a child, he caught his mother cheating on his father, and he had to constantly fight for his father's affection. In an environment where everyone is looking at their business, Sting has been muttering against the Pentagon since the age of eleven. In Newcastle, where as much as a fifth of the population was illiterate, he did not take his nose out of books.
After the death of his parents, he was completely paralyzed, unable to create. He overcame his three-year creative paralysis only when he decided to face death and childhood memories. He did it along with the album "Soul Cages"
Today, Sting is living a healthy life and is one of the many celebrities who adore and practice yoga.
-“I started yoga late in life, at the time when I was 38 or 39 years old. I'm sorry I didn't start earlier. I think I would have gone much further if I had started practicing yoga earlier. But, on the other hand, I probably wasn't even ready for something like that then” said the singer on one occasion.
