Rock Star Sting Surprises Christmas Shoppers in Canada Provincial Capital
British rock star Sting surprised Christmas shoppers in downtown Halifax during an unexpected stop in the Nova Scotia capital.
Sting, whose real name is Gordon Sumner, made the rounds through a shopping mall after his girlfriend, Trudie Styler, was admitted to the Halifax Infirmary last week.
A hospital spokesman would only say that Styler was admitted to the gynecology ward.
“As far as I know, there isn’t anything wrong with her,” said Jim Monaco, a publicity director for A&M; Records. “She just ended up going there out of routine.”
Styler and Sting, former lead singer of The Police, were flying from New York to London to go home for Christmas. A Halifax International Airport spokesman said a woman was taken from a British Airways jet Thursday morning and rushed to the hospital.
David Porter, the Atlantic region’s representative for A&M;, said Sting had to stop “in here for a few hours. I talked to him and everything’s OK.”
