Sting has canceled an upcoming appearance and postponed three shows amid an ongoing illness.

“On advisement from his doctor, due to illness, it is with sincere regret that Sting must cancel his appearance at the Bass Magazine Awards this Thursday,” read a statement shared via the 73-year-old singer’s Instagram on Tuesday, January 21.

Sting was set to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Bass Magazine Awards in Santa Ana, California, on Thursday, January 23. He is also currently on the STING 3.0 concert tour, and two dates have been pushed to the summer.

The star’s Phoenix show, originally scheduled for Friday, January 24, has been moved to Sunday, June 1 and the Wheatland, California, tour stop, originally set for Sunday, January 26, has been moved to Wednesday, May 28, the statement revealed. Sting was also set to perform at the Cherrytree Music Company’s 20th anniversary on Saturday, January 25. This has since been postponed to Thursday, May 29.

“Fans should retain their tickets for the postponed shows, as they will be honored on the new dates,” the Instagram statement concluded. “Sting sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding.”

Details about the singer’s illness have not been revealed.

Sting is set to return to the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis alongside Billy Joel early next month before traveling to South America as part of the STING 3.0 tour.

The British singer was famously a member of The Police (alongside Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland) before departing the band during a concert in August 1983. His debut solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, was released in 1985 and he has dropped 14 solo records since.

“I don’t think any grown man can be in a band, actually,” Sting said during a 2022 interview about his decision to leave The Police. “A band is a teenage gang. Who wants to be in a teenage gang when you’re knocking 70? It doesn’t allow you to evolve.”

He continued, “You have to obey the rules and the gestalt of the band. As much as I love the [Rolling] Stones and AC/DC, it’s hard to see growth in their music. For me, the band was merely a vehicle for the songs and not the other way around.”

Despite his rather strong feelings about the group, Sting did reunite with The Police for a 2007 reunion tour.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s oldest daughter, Luna, has a knack for making those around her feel special.

In an appreciation post for her daughter, Teigen called Luna, 8, “the most loving big sister.”

“Luna tuna appreciation post,” she wrote alongside a black-and-white image of Luna on Tuesday, January 21. “I love this photo. The most loving big sister our kids could ever imagine.”

“So funny, so smart, so quick, so kind, so empathetic, so good at art, always open to learning any and all recipes,” Teigen continued. “She is all the best parts of us in one little person.”

In the comments section, several others agreed with Teigen calling Luna “the sweetest, most thoughtful and most intelligent girl ever.”

“I love what you said at the end. It’s hard to believe there’s a little girl out there with the best parts of two of the best people. But here she is,” wrote agent Hannah Edwards.

Actress Mindy Kaling also had wonderful things to say about Luna, writing, “She always says ‘hi’ to me in the parking lot, making me feel like a cherished elder.”

“I want this to be my reality,” a response to Kaling’s comment read.

Luna is the oldest sister to Teigen’s and Legend’s three youngest kids: Miles, 6, Esti, 2, and Wren, 19 months.

In November 2024, alongside several photos of her family, Teigen wrote that her “house is alivvvve! Alphabets and counting, big kids being big and becoming funny little humans. It’s a lot but it’s perfect.”

Teigen told People in an interview from 2020 that Luna “definitely hates photos, paparazzi, anything. She does everything you see on my Instagram for a quarter or a Sour Patch Kid.”

It’s unclear whether the bribes remains the same nearly five years later.
