Sting is to take a starring role in a new play this March which tells the story of a Newcastle singer starting out on a musical career which takes the rising talent across the world.
The Wallsend-born superstar will play a father figure in the play I Must Have Loved You which he co-created with local author Michael Chaplin.
And his music will pepper the drama which is set to make its debut on BBC Radio 4 on March 19.
