We are pleased to share the news that Sting will participate in this year's NRK telethon in Oslo on Sunday, October 18. Funds raised from the telethon will go to the Rainforest Foundation, the non-profit organization founded in 1989 by Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler. Sting’s song "Fragile" will also be the soundtrack for the telethon.

In honor of #tbt, we’re throwing it back to April and Sting’s benefit concerts at the Sage Gateshead in Newcastle.  In this clip created exclusively for Sting.com, Sting reveals how writing about other people surprised him, and members of the band discuss collaborating on such a personal project.
