The English city of Newcastle was hometown of the rock musician Sting, who as a young man witnessed the city's shipbuilding business dry up. He's paid homage to his town's heritage by writing and starring in a musical, "The Last Ship."
Extended interview: Sting
In this web exclusive, the rock musician Sting talks with Mark Phillips about his stage musical, "The Last Ship," in which he stars, and which is being performed on a global tour. He calls the show an elegy for what Newcastle and its people represented to him growing up. He also discusses why, for him, uncertainty is a key component of art; why performing "Roxanne" today is never tiresome; and why, for him, music is a church.
